Increasing hub heights and growing rotor diameters of advanced WEC make SODAR systems a valuable alternative to meteorological towers. SODAR systems provide wind profiles as well as turbulence information over the entire height of large turbines. ...
For the air pollution modelling studies over highly complex terrain, vertical wind profiles are essential. In the article we present evaluation about using the WRF model as the source of wind profile information. ...
The project's test–bed was established as a novel approach to the overall treatment of the scientific–applicative project goal.Keywords: meteorological forecasting, data validation, height, length, topographic complexity, hlTc, vertical wind profiles, measurements, radiosonde, RASS, SODAR, WRF model, short–term forecasts, Slovenia, atmospheric dispersion ...
Intuitively, one might prefer to include meteorological inputs as close to the release location as possible. During Joint Urban 2003, SODARs measured vertical wind profiles?upwind, within the city centre near the releases, and downwind of Oklahoma City. Low altitude SODAR measurements fell within the urban canopy, while the upper altitude ...
That means that the non-dimensional profiles of the horizontal Reynolds stresses, eddy viscosity and velocity defect components are universal and independent of surface characteristics, contrary to the non-dimensional components of the velocity which are not universal. Radiosounding launched in Barcelona (ES), Lisboa, Evora and Neves Corvo (PT) and sodar ...
