eddies

The atmosphere is full of eddies and currents of air at different temperatures and relative motions.

That means that while there may well have been local eddies, there was not any overall rotation to the gas.

From the article: > A pilot flying through eddies too small to bump his plane around will not notice them—the effect of all the tiny eddies is averaged out into a general sense that the ride is smooth.

He was a nice enough guy that used to hang out at Fast Eddies Sports Bar in Fairfax, VA.

That doesn't exclude random formations as you are dealing with super heated eddies, explosions etc...

There are waves and eddies in a river, but overall the water still flows downhill.

Recent improvements in the technology enable Tule to measure the amount of water vapor carried away from crop field by wind eddies.

If you just wanted 'some toast and coffee' you should have gone across the street to Eddies - because that exists too.

Instead, the fluid motion around black holes and large oceanic eddies are mathematically similar.

To use an example from my own field: when ocean models get to a high enough resolution you start seeing a lot of mesoscale eddies.

Weather is predicting the exact swirls and eddies of the flame.

So the mathematical equations that we create are just eddies in abstract, emergent pattern.

Ocean Eddies: Eddy radius (~120km) / Rossby radius (~50km) ≈ 2.4 (very close to 2.5).
