Abstract: A stochastic hub-height wind speed estimation algorithm for wind turbines, which requires only the rotor angular velocity measurement in the presence of observation noise is proposed. It is ...

Abstract: In this report, through experiments the influence of five major geometric parameters on noise and aerodynamic performance of forward curved (F.C.) centrifugal fans was studied. The parameters ...

Abstract: The spread among the predictions by climate models for the strengthening of the global hydrological cycle [i.e., the global mean surface latent heat flux (LH), or, equivalently, precipitation] at a given level of CO2-induced ...

Abstract: The radiative constraints on the partitioning of the surface energy budget and, hence, on the strength of the hydrological cycle are analyzed in an idealized one-dimensional radiative?convective equilibrium model formulated ...
