227. Typhoon and hurricanes do not form exceptionally large waves, because their winds, although very strong, do not blow long enough from one direction.

228. Observations show that some sort of growth and development is occurring, though in rather complex fashion.

觀測表明，某種生長和發育正在進行，不過（雖然）是以相當復雜的方式進行的。

229. These experimental studies gave, if nothing else, a greater appreciation of the power and limitations of similarity methods in describing such flows.
