wind drift

Thanks to wind drift, the highest ozone levels are often found in country areas.

Given currents and wind drift, it should've changed some, even if they were anchored.

It flows south from the equator to the west wind drift.

Over the next hour I calculated our wind drift.

Without a defined target zone he could not gauge his wind drift or direction.

The pilot watched the smoke's movement to figure wind drift as he lined up on the target.

They are a boat tail bullet to reduce drag and wind drift.

Another name for this current is the West Wind Drift.

In bullets it refers to the amount that drop over distance and wind drift will affect the bullet.

It is continuous with the northern edge of the West Wind Drift.

This results in a flatter trajectory, less susceptible to wind drift and with better energy retention characteristics.

This reduces losses from evaporation and wind drift.

From a scientific perspective, the "wind pushing on the side of the bullet" is not what causes wind drift.

He watched for unexpected wind drift.

Trimming the meplat also shortens the bullet, making it more susceptible to wind drift.

What causes wind drift is drag.

It actually accelerated somewhat in the rarefied air as the seeker head moved fractionally to correct for wind drift.

The missile was launched slightly upward, and at an angle to offset any wind drift during the first second of unguided flight.

Near the continent, the East Wind Drift runs counterclockwise.

While the crew had adjusted for the wind drift, they did not attempt to intercept the magnetic course 155 outbound from Advent.

Our boys in blue simply get a mission to light an area, and they plot wind drift and so on and start dropping flares.

The navigator Davis used sextants and smoke bombs to calculate course and wind drift.

The Doppler radar (used to calculate wind drift and ground speed) often had to use information in its computer's memory because of processing lapses.

The bees appeared to be on automatic pilot; they ignored large artificial landscape features placed in the return path and compensated for wind drift.

We pushed on, checking and correcting wind drift as we went along, keeping our heading constant, our ground track due north.
