Wind shear climatology for large wind turbine generators [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
Climatological wind shear analyses relevant to the design and operation of multimegawatt wind turbines are provided. Insight is provided for relating the wind experienced by a rotating blade in a shear flow to the analysis results. A simple analysis of the wind experienced by a rotating blade for three types of wind shear profiles under steady-state ...

Meteorological tower wind shear characteristics, vertical wind speed profile, and surface roughness analysis near the coastline of Chennai [PDF]

open access: yesSongklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2019
Extrapolation of wind data is required to estimate wind speeds at high altitudes. Doing so requires an essential understanding of wind shear characteristics related to the location or region.

Identification and Analysis of Wind Shear Within the Transiting Frontal System at Xining International Airport Using Lidar

open access: yesRemote Sensing
The principal factor contributing to the restricted accuracy of wind shear detection resides in the rapid oscillations of the wind field and the intricate characteristics of wind shear. The abrupt alterations in wind speed and direction over a short span

Wind shear test

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1984
Techniques for forecasting and detecting a type of wind shear called microbursts are being tested this month in an operational program at Denver's Stapleton International Airport as part of an effort to reduce hazards to airplanes and passengers.Wind shear, which can be spawned by convective storms, can occur as a microburst.

Effect of Wind Shear on the Characteristics of a Rotating Blade of a Field Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2007
This paper shows the aerodynamic characteristics at the mid-length of a rotor blade of a 10-m-diameter wind turbine exposed to wind shear. A sonic wind speed meter and six cup-anemometers were installed one diameter upwind of the turbine in order to ...

Fighting wind shear

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1983
A “coherent and sustained program” of improved radar detection of weather, pilot training, and better communication between pilots and air controllers can greatly reduce the risk of wind shear to airplanes landing or taking off, according to a National Research Council (NRC) committee.Wind shear, characterized by winds rapidly changing direction and ...

Wind Shear of Low-Level Jets and Their Influence on Manned and Unmanned Fixed-Wing Aircraft during Landing Approach

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2021
Wind shear at low altitudes represents a potential hazard to landing aircraft. Based on two wind lidar data sets of one year, the occurrence of low-level jets (LLJs), the vertical wind shear and the rotation of the wind direction were analysed. The lidar
