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 ...

Vertical shears of horizontal winds in the lower thermosphere observed by ICON

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
Abstract Vertical shears of horizontal winds play an important role in the dynamics of the upper atmosphere. Prior observations have indicated that these shears predominantly occur in the lower thermosphere. MIGHTI observations from the Ionospheric Connection Explorer indicate that strong wind shears are a common feature of the lower ...

Some aspects of fluctuating vertical wind shears [PDF]

Solar Energy, 1981
Fluctuating vertical shears of wind speed have been measured using an array of towers. The statistical distributions of these shears are compared with formulas proposed by Fichtl (1971, 1972) and good agreement is found. A comparison of Fichtl's formula for the standard deviation of the fluctuating shears with a more empirical one proposed by Ramsdell (

The Influence of Vertical Wind Shear on Moist Thermals [PDF]

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2019
AbstractAlthough it is well established that vertical wind shear helps to organize and maintain convective systems, there is a longstanding colloquial notion that it inhibits the development of deep convection. To investigate this idea, the vertical momentum budgets of sheared and unsheared moist thermals were compared in idealized cloud model ...

Vertical wind shear on Jupiter from Cassini images [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2006
Multifilter images of Jupiter acquired by the Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) are used to derive zonal winds at altitudes above and below the visible cloud deck. Small features unique to the ultraviolet images of ISS are tracked to get the systematic high‐altitude zonal winds.

Tropical Cyclone Intensity in Vertical Wind Shear

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2004
Abstract The structure and intensity changes of tropical cyclones (TCs) in environmental vertical wind shear (VWS) are investigated in this study using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–National Center for Atmospheric Research (PSU–NCAR) Mesoscale Model (MM5).
