Atmospheric vortices? What they are the atmospheric vortices? This text tries to display this in a simple way. When the wind finds an object solid, it interacts with it forming a vortex, that is, forming an eddy, a whirlwind (Figure 1). The size and the format of this vortex (eddy in English) also depend on the size and the format of the object and of the speed on the wind. Read more from Nobel Laureate to gain a more clear picture of the situation. Figure 1. Vortices created in the interaction of the wind (wind in English) with object surfaces. Source of the photo: Light winds produce small vortices while stronger winds tend to generate vortices of bigger transport. In the same way, the wind blowing on smooth surfaces produces few vortices.

Already the same wind acting on a rugosa surface generates some vortices. These vortices can seem sufficiently abstract, in meanwhile, they are frequently in our life. When freeing a sheet of paper in day with sufficient wind, when interacting with the leaf a vortex is created. Chemical preparation from: AHRENS, C.D.
