IRS (infra-red Sounder) is an infra-red Fourier transform spectrometer that will be on board the Meteosat Third Generation series of future EUMETSAT geostationary satellites and have a unique 4D look at atmosphere. After its planned launch in 2024, it able to measure radiance emitted by Earth top atmosphere using 1960 channels two spectral bands between 680 – 1210 cm-1 (long-wave infra-red) 160...

Abstract. Wind as a resource of renewable energy has obtained an important share of the energy market already. Therefore simulation and prediction of wind speeds is essential for both, for engineers and energy traders. In this paper we analyze the surface wind speed data from three prototypic locations: coastal region (Rotterdam), undulating forest landscape few 100 m above sea level(Kassel), ...

The prediction accuracies of partially-averaged Navier-Stokes model and improved shear stress transport k-ω turbulence model for simulating the unsteady cavitating flow around the hydrofoil were discussed in this paper. Numerical results show that the two turbulence models can effectively reproduce the cavitation evolution process. The numerical prediction for the cycle time of cavitation incep...

A precise wind power prediction is important for the integration of wind energy into the power grid. Besides numerical weather models for short-term predictions, there is a trend towards the development of statistical data-driven models that can outperform the classical forecast models [1]. In this paper, we improve a statistical prediction model proposed by Kramer and Gieseke [5], by employing...
