ASCAT wind quality under high subcell wind variability conditions
The assessment and validation of the quality of satellite scatterometer vector winds is challenging under increased subcell wind variability conditions, since reference wind sources such as buoy winds or model output represent very different spatial scales from those resolved by scatterometers (i.e., increased representativeness error). In this paper, moored buoy wind time series are used to as...
متن کاملAscat Scatterometer Wind Data Processing
The Advanced scatterometer, ASCAT, on MetOp-A was launched on 19 October 2006 as the third wind scatterometer currently in space joining up with the ERS-2 and the SeaWinds scatterometers. Scatterometers measure the radar backscatter from wind-generated cm-size gravity-capillary waves and provide highresolution wind vector fields over the sea with high quality. In this paper we show progress in ...
متن کاملSimulation of the Wind Performance of ASCAT
In this note I use the ERS wind processing chain to simulate noisy backscatter values for ASCAT, retrieve winds from those, and compare them to the "true" wind. It is shown that, in order to achieve a constant performance versus across track node number, the instrument noise may be larger at the outer parts of the swath. This effect is quantified, and 25 versus 50 km resolution is investigated.

IL 61801-2935 The effects of rime ice on horizontal axis wind turbine performance were estimated. For typzcal supercooled fog conditions found in cold northern regions, four rime ice accretwns on the 5809 wmd turbine airfoil were predicted usi...
متن کاملVariability of Wind and Wind Power
The installed capacity for wind power is increasing substantially in response to the worldwide interest in low-emissions power sources and a desire to decrease the dependence on petroleum. The European Union directive 2009/28/EC enforces the mandatory target of a 20 % share of energy from renewable sources in overall Community energy consumption by 2020 and a mandatory 10 % minimum target to be...
