Abstract: A new method for estimating the mixing depth of the atmosphere's convective boundary layer is developed for use with wind-profiling radars. This method applies ?fuzzy logic? methods to give an improved determination of the ...

Abstract: n this paper a Gabor transform?based algorithm is applied to identify and eliminate intermittent signal contamination in UHF wind profiling radars, such as that produced by migrating birds. The algorithm is applied in the ...

Abstract: A self-consistent remote sensing physical method to retrieve atmospheric humidity high-resolution profiles by synergetic use of a microwave radiometer profiler (MWRP) and wind profiler radar (WPR) is illustrated. The ...

Abstract: A previous study showed success in determining the convective boundary layer depth with radar wind-profiling radars using fuzzy logic methods, and improvements to the earlier work are discussed. The improved method uses ...

Abstract: he performance of mesoscale meteorological models is evaluated for the coastal zone and Los Angeles area of Southern California, and for the San Joaquin Valley. Several configurations of the Weather Research and Forecasting ...

Abstract: wind energy Ramp Tool and Metric (RT&M) has been developed out of recognition that during significant ramp events (large changes in wind power over short periods of time ) it is more difficult to balance the electric load ...

Abstract: uring the summer of 2004 a network of 11 wind profiling radars (WPRs) was deployed in New England as part of the New England Air Quality Study (NEAQS). Observations from this dataset are used to determine their impact on ...

Abstract: he Wind Forecast Improvement Project (WFIP) is a public?private research program, the goal of which is to improve the accuracy of short-term (0?6 h) wind power forecasts for the wind energy industry. WFIP was sponsored by ...
