Increasing levels of intermittent renewables, especially wind power, in energy systems require accurate temporal characterisation of the resources’ availability at seasonal, daily and hourly scales. This is crucial for isolated energy systems, where increasing wind power penetration is limited due to costly backup power generation requirements. In the case studies presented in this paper, the e...

through this article, the distribution of air pollutants in tehran have been simulated based on wind patterns with and without the presence of synoptic by tapm (a meso-scale model). the simulation covers three horizontal resolution domains 30, 15 and 5 kilometers. the pollutants chosen for this are co and pm10 and wind data is 10 meter height level. the result has shown that the model simulated...

This paper tests the hypothesis that Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) species can be propagated by wind over long distances. Movement patterns of midges were inferred indirectly from patterns of the spread of bluetongue outbreaks between farms (using outbreak data from 1999-2001 for Greece, Bulgaria and Turkey) and then matched to concurrent wind patterns. The general methodology was to de...

Airflow behavior and indoor/outdoor PM2.5 dispersion in different building–tree grouping patterns depend significantly on the building–tree layouts and orientation towards the prevailing wind. By using a standard k-ε model and a revised generalized drift flux model, this study evaluated airflow fields and indoor/outdoor relationships for PM2.5 resulting from partly wind-induced natural ventilat...

The residents of Mexico City face serious problems of air pollution. Identifying the most representative scenarios for the transport and dispersion of air pollutants requires the knowledge of the main wind circulation patterns. In this paper, a simple method to recognize and characterize the wind circulation patterns in a given region is proposed and applied to the Mexico City winds (2001–2006)...

introduction dust storms, one type of dust event, are in most cases the result of turbulent winds, including convective haboobs, which raise large quantities of dust from desert surfaces and reduce visibility to less than 1 km. this dust reaches concentrations in excess of 6000 mg m3 in severe events. the major dust source regions are areas of arid and hyper-arid, with mean annual rainfalls of ...

Wind has become increasingly important as a source of energy although the generation of wind energy is quite erratic because of its changeable nature. For a given location, wind speed and direction change over time and at different heights. Previous studies have discovered different pattern of wind profiles, however an improved understanding of its spatial, temporal and variation in heights is ...

abstract: numerical weather forecasting models are used for forecasting and dynamic conditions analysis of atmosphere phenomena in recent years. this research investigates dynamic and thermodynamic conditions in heavier precipitation events in different synoptic patterns in the southern coasts of caspian sea using wrf model. database precipitation events were formed. super heavy and heavy preci...
