Acknowledgements, This work is part of the postdoctoral
research of L.G., financed by the Alexander von Humboldt
Stiflung, Germany; L.G. thanks Dr. K. Anger for receiving him
at his laboratory and for his invaluable support. Thanks to the
Deutscher Wetter Dienst, in particular Mr. H. Schmack, for
providing and answering questions on wind data. This manu
script was greatly improved by comments from Dr, H,
Queiroga, the Editor, and 4 anonymous reviewers.
