New study reveals accuracy of wind simulations crucial for renewable energy.
The study looked at how different models affect the accuracy of predicting wind patterns in the atmosphere. By using a special type of radar, researchers found that the accuracy of wind predictions varied depending on the height and speed of the wind. They discovered that certain models were better at predicting wind speeds between 10-15 m/s and at higher altitudes. The accuracy of the predictions also depended on the weather conditions, with more errors occurring in complex terrains. Overall, the study showed that different models have strengths and weaknesses in predicting wind patterns, especially in different weather conditions and altitudes.
