Global ocean wind power sensitivity to surface layer stability
[1] Global ocean wind power has recently been assessed (W. T. Liu et al., 2008) using scatterometry-based 10 m winds. We characterize, for the first time, wind power at 80 m (typical wind turbine hub height) above the global ocean surface, and account for the effects of surface layer stability. Accounting for realistic turbine height and atmospheric stability increases mean global ocean wind po...
متن کاملPolar F-layer model-observation comparisons: a neutral wind surprise
The existence of a month-long continuous database of incoherent scatter radar observations of the ionosphere from the EISCAT Savlbard Radar (ESR) at Longyearbyen, Norway, provides an unprecedented opportunity for model/data comparisons. Physics-based ionospheric models, such as the Utah State University Time Dependent Ionospheric Model (TDIM), are usually only compared with observations over re...
متن کاملSpacebased Observation of Global Ocean Surface Wind Fields
The ocean and the atmosphere are dynamically coupled by the transport of momentum which is driven by the wind shear at the sea surface. However, in situ wind measurements are relatively sparse over most of the world’s ocean and are largely limited to the locations of shipping routes. They are insufficient to cover the temporal and spatial scales required to study global environmental changes. T...
متن کاملHigh Wind Upper Ocean Mixing with Explicit Surface Wave Processes
The work described here supports the Office of Naval Research Departmental Research Initiative (DRI) for research on the “Impact of Typhoons on the Western Pacific Ocean” (ITOP). The theme of the DRI is to better characterize and predict the ocean boundary layer (OBL) and its impact on typhoon (hurricane) evolution. This is one component of developing improved pre diction models for the couple...
متن کاملSpatial intermittency of surface layer wind fluctuations at mesoscale range.
We study various hourly surface layer wind series recorded at different sites in the Netherlands by the "Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute." By reporting all velocity magnitude correlation coefficients, associated with the available couples of locations, as a function of their spatial distance, we find that they fall on a single curve. This curve turns out to be remarkably well describ...
