Influence of vertical wind shear on wind- and rainfall areas of tropical cyclones making landfall over South Korea. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 The wind- and rainfall areas of tropical cyclones (TCs) making landfall over South Korea were examined for the period 1998-2013 by using the Modern Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, version 2 (MERRA-2) and Tropical Rainfall ...

Vertical shears of horizontal winds in the lower thermosphere observed by ICON
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Vertical shears of horizontal winds play an important role in the dynamics of the middle and 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 thermosphere and

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 (

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.

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 ...

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.

Momentum flux associated with gravity waves in the low-latitude troposphere [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2003 The vertical fluxes of horizontal momentum at tropospheric heights are calculated for four days, 25–28 August 1999. The mean zonal wind during these days show the presence of strong westward wind at the upper troposphere.

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.
