2 Probabilistic Description of Wind Gusts
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Velocity measurements of wind blowing near the North Sea border of Northern Germany and velocity measurements under local isotropic conditions of a turbulent wake behind a cylinder are compared. It is shown that wind gusts – measured by means of velocity increments – do show similar statistics to the laboratory data, if they are conditioned on an averaged wind speed value. Clear differences between the laboratory data and the atmospheric wind velocity measurement are found for the waiting time statistics between successive gusts above a certain threshold of interest.

متن کاملWind gust estimation for Mid-European winter storms: towards a probabilistic view
Three wind gust estimation (WGE) methods implemented in the numerical weather prediction (NWP) model COSMO-CLM are evaluated with respect to their forecast quality using skill scores. Two methods estimate gusts locally from mean wind speed and the turbulence state of the atmosphere, while the third one considers the mixing-down of high momentum within the planetary boundary layer (WGE Brasseur)...
متن کاملWind gusts and plant aeroelasticity effects on the aerodynamics of pollen shedding: a hypothetical turbulence-initiated wind-pollination mechanism.
Plant reproduction depends on pollen dispersal. For anemophilous (wind-pollinated) species, such as grasses and many trees, shedding pollen from the anther must be accomplished by physical mechanisms. The unknown nature of this process has led to its description as the 'paradox of pollen liberation'. A simple scaling analysis, supported by experimental measurements on typical wind-pollinated pl...
متن کاملApplication of microwave radiometer and wind profiler data in the estimation of wind gust associated with intense convective weather
Estimates of the wind gusts associated with intense convective weather could be obtained using empirical relationships such as GUSTEX based on radiosonde measurements. However, such data are only available a couple of times a day and may not reflect the rapidly changing atmospheric condition in spring and summer times. The feasibility of combining the thermodynamic profiles from a ground-based ...
متن کاملSpecific gust shapes leading to extreme response of pitch- regulated wind turbines
Via so-called constrained stochastic simulation gusts can be generated which satisfy some specified constraint. Constrained stochastic simulation is based on conditional densities of normal random variables and it has previously been applied to generate maximum amplitude gusts and velocity jumps. In this paper it is used in order to generate specific wind gusts which will lead to local maxima i...
