The most common type of waterspout is a fairweather waterspout, which arises over warm seas, e.g. near Florida. It lasts for only a few minutes. These waterspouts are generally of F0 intensity, with winds of no more than 30 m/s. They typically occur during the developing stage of an airmass thunderstorm, below the main updraft. These thunderstorms are found in weakly sheared environments, so the spin-up must result mainly from vortex stretching and less from vortex tilting. 2, record 10, English, - fair%20weather%20waterspout

«Girouette» demeure le générique. Les girouettes les plus courantes ont la forme de coqs mais les «patenteux» savent s'écarter du traditionnel coq de clocher pour leur donner les formes les plus diverses. On parle de «vire-vents» dans la Beauce, en Gaspésie et au Nouveau-Brunswick. Les gens diront encore «tournette», «tourniquette» et «moulinette» là où on consignerait «tourniquet» et «moulinet» mais sans donner à ces mots le sens que leur donne le parler populaire québécois. Pour la France, «girouette», «moulin à vent» ou «moulinet» décrivent le plus souvent ces inventions. 3, record 12, French, - girouette

Record number: 13, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The name comes from the Arabic word habb, meaning wind. Haboobs are most frequent from May through September, especially in June, but they have occurred in every month except November. Their average duration is three hours; they are most severe in April and May when the soil is driest. They may approach from any direction, but most commonly from the north in winter and from the south, southeast, or east in summer. The average maximum wind velocity is over 13 m s1(30 mph) and a speed of 28 m s1(62 mph) has been recorded. The sand and dust form a dense whirling wall that may be 1000 m(3000 ft) high; it is often preceded by isolated dust whirls. During these storms, enormous quantities of sand are deposited. Haboobs usually occur after a few days of rising temperature and falling pressure. 4, record 13, English, - haboob

Horizontal Rotary-Atomizing Burner.... The burner consists of an atomizing or spinner cup, and air blower, and a region in which the air and oil are mixed. The cup, which is mounted on a horizontal motor shaft, is revolved at a speed of 3, 450 revolutions per minute or higher. The oil fed to the cup is atomized by whirling the oil off the edge of the cup. As the oil droplets leave the edge, they are caught up in a horizontal air current from the blower. The resulting fuel-air mixture is ignited by a gas pilot near the cup, and the flame is projected horizontally. 2, record 17, English, - horizontal%20rotary%20cup%20oil%20burner
