• How do albatrosses fly around the world without flapping their wings (2011, background): “Vertical (logarithmic) profile of average wind speed over the ocean (after Sachs, 2005). An assumed reference velocity of 10 m/s is located at a height of 10 m. Note that most (72%) of the increase of wind speed within the lowest 10 m of the profile is located in a 2 m thick wind–shear boundary laye”
