The Limiting Factors for the Regions of Wind Direction and Speed in Nineveh Governorate
Abstract
The research aims at standing on the most effective factors in the direction and speed of wind in Nineveh Governorate and that this query resulted from many reasons some of them are related with the district study area and another with the site of stations of climate factors measuring. In addition to the effects of wind movement in the whole parts of the country and the changes that man participate in like cities raising, high buildings and the designing shape that creates a kind of disordered currents inside the city and also the agriculture and its effect on the wind movement apart from the effect of surface type on the wind blowing from the hard surfaces to smooth ones and vice versa and what results of the vibration of wind movement between the increase or decrease in its rate. The variety of the topographical nature for the study area has created many regions in it concerning speed and wind direction and its intervene through air passages with different speed which is reflected on the ability of wind and the possibility of using it as an alternative power which participate in supplying electric power.
