Drift migration is the phenomenon in which migrating birds are blown off course by the winds while they are in flight. It is more likely to happen to birds...

to east around Antarctica. An alternative name for the ACC is the West Wind Drift. The ACC is the dominant circulation feature of the Southern Ocean and...

trajectory of a projectile and compensate for physical effects of gravity and wind drift, in order to increase the probability of the projectile successfully reaching...

Oblique incoming wind squeezes water along the coast, generating a water current that moves parallel to the coast. Longshore drift is simply the sediment...

which is "fastened" to a fixed object, drift ice is carried along by winds and sea currents, hence its name. When drift ice is driven together into a large...

making it more susceptible to wind drift. So even though the grouping will be tighter, the time of flight and wind drift will be slightly greater. Pointing...

has shown that older individuals are better at making corrections for wind drift. Birds rely for navigation on a combination of innate biological senses...

efforts have been made to quantify and control spray drift from hydraulic nozzles. Conversely, wind drift is also an efficient mechanism for moving droplets...

compensate for limited bullet drop at most, but when the range is extended, wind drift will be the first factor affecting precision to the extent that it must...

target (also known as deflection shooting or "leading" the wind) to compensate for wind drift, without actually changing the existing adjustment settings...

000 m (1,094 yd), increasing effective range by nearly half, reducing wind drift by a third, with less recoil than 7.62×51mm NATO rounds. Tests showed...

from wind drift compared to modern military intermediate cartridge (such as 5.56 NATO, 5.45×39mm, 5.8×42mm, etc.). With the high powered calibers wind drift...

over the .35 Whelen, and uses bullets that retain velocity and resist wind drift better than similar weight bullets fired from the .35 Whelen due to an...

Larger cartridges like the .22-250 provide flatter trajectories with less wind drift at ranges over 300 yards (270 m); and handloading remains an option for...

susceptible to significant wind drift, made delivery accuracy and aircraft survivability (when releasing low enough to minimize that wind drift) questionable. Also...

1,000 m (1,094 yd), increases effective range by nearly half, reduces wind drift by a third and has less recoil. The same rifles can use the new cartridge...

measure the wind speed from the air, and used that measurement to calculate the wind's effects on the trajectory of the bombs. The Drift Sight eliminated...

impact point and where it would have fallen if there had been no wind is known as drift, or cross trail. In ballistics terms, it is traditional to talk...

A drift meter, also drift indicator and drift sight, is an optical device used to improve dead reckoning for aircraft navigation by measuring wind effect...

combining it with a drift measure similar to the one from the earlier Drift Sight. Like the Drift sight, simply taking a measure of the wind using the sight...
