Estimation of wind misalignment and vertical shear from blade loads
Renewable Energy, 2014 Abstract This paper describes the formulation and verification of a novel observer of wind parameters. The general idea behind the proposed approach is to consider the wind turbine rotor as an anemometer. In fact, the rotor responds to varying wind conditions; by properly interpreting this response, one can indirectly measure some desired wind ...

Environmental sensitivities of shallow-cumulus dilution – Part 2: Vertical wind profile [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021 This second part of a numerical study on shallow-cumulus dilution focuses on the sensitivity of cloud dilution to changes in the vertical wind profile. Insights are obtained through large-eddy simulations of maritime and continental cloud fields.

On the occurrence of strong vertical wind shear in the tropopause region: a 10-year ERA5 northern hemispheric study [PDF]
Weather and Climate Dynamics, 2021 A climatology of the occurrence of strong wind shear in the upper troposphere–lower stratosphere (UTLS) is presented, which gives rise to defining a tropopause shear layer (TSL).

Heavy snowfall event over the Swiss Alps: did wind shear impact secondary ice production? [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023 The change in wind direction and speed with height, referred to as vertical wind shear, causes enhanced turbulence in the atmosphere. As a result, there are enhanced interactions between ice particles that break up during collisions in clouds which could

The formation of sporadic E layers by a vortical perturbation excited in a horizontal wind shear flow [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2008 The formation of the mid-latitude sporadic E layers (Es layers) by an atmospheric vortical perturbation excited in a horizontal shear flow (horizontal wind with a horizontal linear shear) is investigated.

How Wind Shear Affects Trade‐wind Cumulus Convection
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2020 Motivated by an observed relationship between marine low cloud cover and surface wind speed, this study investigates how vertical wind shear affects trade‐wind cumulus convection, including shallow cumulus and congestus with tops below the freezing level.
