Abstract: nvestigations of lidar-assisted control to optimize the energy yield and to reduce loads of wind turbines have increased significantly in recent years. For this kind of control, it is crucial to know the correlation between ...

Abstract: his study demonstrates that a pulsed wind lidar is a reliable instrument for measuring angles between horizontal vectors of significance in the atmospheric boundary layer. Three different angles are considered: the wind ...

Abstract: The wind speed profile for the neutral boundary layer is derived for a number of mixing-length parameterizations, which account for the height of the boundary layer. The wind speed profiles show good agreement with the ...

Abstract: xtreme winds derived from simulations using mesoscale models are underestimated because of the effective spatial and temporal resolutions. This is reflected in the spectral domain as an energy deficit in the mesoscale ...

Abstract: The capability of the NCAR 10.6-?m-wavelength CO2 Doppler lidar to measure radial air motion is validated by examining hard-target test data, comparing measurements with those from a two-axis propeller anemometer and a ...
