Documenting Wind Speed and Power Deficits behind a Utility-Scale Wind Turbine
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: igh-spatial-and-temporal-resolution radial velocity measurements surrounding a single utility-scale wind turbine were collected using the Texas Tech University Ka-band mobile research radars. The measurements were synthesized ...
Standardization of Dual-Doppler Radar–Derived Wind Fields during a Hurricane Landfall
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
High-Resolution Dual-Doppler Analyses of the 29 May 2001 Kress, Texas, Cyclic Supercell
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 29 May 2001, Doppler on Wheels radars collected data on a supercell near Kress, Texas. The supercellular storm, cyclic in nature, produced multiple mesocyclones throughout its lifetime. Dual-Doppler syntheses were ...
Surface Analysis of the Rear-Flank Downdraft Outflow in Two Tornadic Supercells
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The rear-flank downdraft regions of two tornadic supercells were sampled on 12 June 2004 and 9 June 2005 using four ?mobile mesonet? probes. These rear-flank downdraft outflows were sampled employing two different data ...
Validation of Dual-Doppler Wind Profiles with in situ Anemometry
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ypical methods used to acquire wind profiles from Doppler radar measurements rely on plan position indicator (PPI) scans being performed at multiple elevation angles to utilize the velocity?azimuth display technique or to ...
Evaluation of Wind Forecasts and Observation Impacts from Variational and Ensemble Data Assimilation for Wind Energy Applications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he U.S. Department of Energy Wind Forecast Improvement Project (WFIP) has recently been completed with the aim of 1) understanding the performance of different mesoscale data assimilation systems for lower-atmospheric wind ...
An Observational Study of Hurricane Boundary Layer Small-Scale Coherent Structures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data with high temporal and spatial resolution from Hurricanes Isabel (2003) and Frances (2004) were analyzed to provide a detailed study of near-surface linear structures with subkilometer wavelengths of the hurricane ...
GPS Dropwindsonde and WSR-88D Observations of Tropical Cyclone Vertical Wind Profiles and Their Characteristics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he characteristics of tropical cyclone vertical wind profiles and their associated wind speed peaks below 1.5 km were examined through the use of a large number of GPS dropwindsondes (GPS sondes) and radar-derived ...
Doppler Radar Measurements of Spatial Turbulence Intensity in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractRemote sensing instruments that scan have the ability to provide high-resolution spatial measurements of atmospheric boundary layer winds across a region. However, the time required to collect the volume of ...
