Atmospheric Science Letters, 2022 Vertical wind shear is known to play a key role in the organization and intensity of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) in West and Central Africa. A decadal increase in vertical wind shear has recently been linked to a decadal increase in intense MCSs ...

Thunderstorms over a tropical Indian station, Minicoy: Role of vertical wind shear [PDF]
Journal of Earth System Science, 2010 In this study, an attempt has been made to bring out the observational aspects of vertical wind shear in thunderstorms over Minicoy. Case studies of thunderstorm events have been examined to find out the effect of vertical wind shear and instability on ...

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 ...

Tropical sea surface temperature, vertical wind shear, and hurricane development [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2007 The anomalously strong hurricane activity in the Atlantic sector during the recent years led to a controversy about the impact of global warming on hurricane activity in the Atlantic sector. Here we show that the temperature difference between the tropical North Atlantic and the tropical Indian and Pacific Oceans (Indo‐Pacific) is a key parameter in ...

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.

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.

Role of Wind Shear in the Decay of Convective Boundary Layers
Atmosphere, 2020 The role of wind shear in the decay of the convective boundary layer (CBL) is systematically investigated using a series of large-eddy simulations. Nine CBLs with weak, intermediate, and strong wind shear are simulated, and their decays after stopping ...

Brief communication: On the influence of vertical wind shear on the combined power output of two model wind turbines in yaw [PDF]
Wind Energy Science, 2017 The effect of vertical wind shear on the total power output of two aligned model wind turbines as a function of yaw misalignment of the upstream turbine is studied experimentally.

Analysis of the influence of the wind speed profile on wind power production
Energy Reports, 2022 The characterization of wind speed and its variability at a site is important for wind resource assessment. The most readily available wind measurements are at 10 m above ground level.
