Release of the heat of fusion is believed to alter the pressure gradient in such a way as to diminish the destructive winds near the storm center.

人们认为融解热的释放可以改变气压梯度，结果减小风暴中心附近的破坏性风力。

Of course, the vast majority of the energy is in the storm itself—hurricanes, for example, have the heat energy of 10, 000 nuclear bombs. Capturing that energy might prove frazzling.

当然，绝大多数能量来自于风暴本身，譬如，飓风。

Most of the visible roofs will be covered in greenery to slow storm water runoff and significantly reduce the heat island effect of the development itself.

大多数可见的大楼屋顶都将以绿色植被覆盖，从而降低雨水流速，同时还可以显著降低开发区域的热岛效应。

The heat-driven storm that started Friday has resulted in at least 22 deaths from Ohio to New Jersey, 13 of them in Virginia.

There's also a section devoted to "green" roofs, both literally and figuratively, those planted to reduce New York's "heat-island" effect and storm-water runoff.

TC4 project will generate new data on the icy cirrus clouds that are formed in the upper atmosphere by heat-driven, or convective, storm systems that coalesce over warm waters in the tropics.
