Abstract: 5-yr climatology of westerly wind events in Owens Valley, California, is derived from data measured by a mesoscale network of 16 automatic weather stations. Thermally driven up- and down-valley flows are found to account ...

Abstract: he conceptual model of an atmospheric rotor is reexamined in the context of a valley, using data from the Terrain-Induced Rotor Experiment (T-REX) conducted in 2006 in the southern Sierra Nevada and Owens Valley, California. ...

Abstract: This paper presents a verification study of the skill and potential economic value of forecasts of ice accretion on wind turbines. The phase of active ice formation has been associated with the strongest wind power production ...
