Wind Farms Capable of Altering Local Weather
In a study published recently by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), it was revealed that large wind farms can have a significant effect on near-surface air temperatures. It is believed that the changes are caused by the turbulence created by the rotor blades which, if altered in sized, would limit the impact on the surrounding temperatures.
In addition to the proposed rotor blade minimisation, it is also believed that by situating wind farms in areas which are naturally turbulent, the influence of the turbines could be reduced.
The discoveries were first recorded some 21… Continue reading
How Weather Affects Your Chicken Runs and Coops
Weather can affect your chicken runs and coops in different parts of the world. How does the weather affect your chicken runs and coops? We will look at some of the different situations, conditions and recommend a few solutions in this article.
Desirable Climate
First of all let’s look at the most desirable weather condition and situation most chicken ranchers would prefer to have their chicken runs and coops located in. From the beginning of domesticated chicken ranching, the natural climate for chickens has been a warm climate. Sunny weather allows for chickens to be outside of the coop for… Continue reading
