those missions over to the crash site. let's take a look at some of the conditions expected for the next 24 hours or so. this was the conditions on thursday. as you can see, clear skies for the helicopters as they did the missions, bringing the crews in and out of this very narrow ravine, which is by the way only about 250 meters wide. so leaving very little room for error for the pilots. now, anything below 30 kilometers per hour over a mountainous terrain really flows quite naturally. but when we're talking about wind gusts in excess of 30 kilometers per hour, which we have in the forecast for today, we start to see what is called turbulent eddies. these are circulation patterns that are created by the mountain ravines and all the narrow crevasses. think of it as kind of an analogy. almost like a flowing river of water. that would be the air. as it gets basically damnmed up behind the mountain ranges.

think of wind as almost a flowing river of water, okay? as it goes up and over mountain passes, it accelerates and decelerates and 1350eds d 1350eds s decelerates and 1350eds peeds u through ravines. as it gets higher than this, 30 kilometers per hour or higher, we see what is called wind eddys. this is a concern because not only can these planes fly in and out of this particular area, but a lot of times they have to hover to drop off or pick up some of those recovery personnel that are going to the particular crash site. so the high winds and turbulence have the strongest impact during takeoff, landing, and hovering at the crash site. so that's something that we're going to monitor as we go forward in time. crash site wind forecasts, we're expecting winds to exceed 60

trying to recover remains. >> derek van dam joins us now. >> fortunately, weather conditions were about as good as they could be on thursday. no rain, no snow and little wind. but that weather gap is closing quickly. i'm not talking about rain, cloud cover and snow, i'm talking about the winds picking up. considering how difficult it is for crews to get to the -- or access the site on foot, you can see that we've been watching the helicopters flying people in and out. so wind is obviously a concern. let me explain this further for you. helicopters are designed to handle turbulence, strong wind gusts and of course these mountain winds that gust through these parts -- this part of the world. and certainly these pilots have been trained for these types of weather conditions, as well. but wind can play certain havoc through mountain ravines.
