a Low wind ranged from 3.75 to 26.8 m min−1, medium wind speed varied from 80.5 to 134.1 m min−1, and high wind ranged from 268.2 to 536.5 m min−1. For any wind speed value, the same value was used for the advective wind speed.

b Small surface areas ranged from 25.8 to 232.3 cm2, medium surface areas ranged from 412.9 to 929.0 cm2, large surface areas ranged from 2090.3 to 3716.1 cm2, and very large surface areas ranged from 8361 to 33 445 cm2.
