DOI: 10.1002/joc.6108
Abstract: Near-surface seasonal and annual mean wind speed in Switzerland is investigated using homogenized observations, Twentieth Century Reanalysis (20CRv2c) data and raw model output of a 75 member EURO-COoRdinated Downscaling EXperiment regional climate model (RCM) ensemble… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11071-020-05886-y
Abstract: The critical aeroelastic behavior of horizontal, suspended, and shallow cables is analyzed via a continuous model accounting for both external and internal damping. Quasi-steady aerodynamic forces are considered, including their stationary contribution (mean wind force).… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.apenergy.2019.113419
Abstract: Abstract Financing costs for offshore projects depend, among many other variables, on the quality of mean wind speed predictions. Financial institutions determine the amount of debt that can be reasonably supported by the project, based… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jweia.2017.11.021
Abstract: Abstract When analyzing pedestrian wind environments, the evaluated mean wind speed sometimes varies in its definition depending on the method used, such as in wind tunnel experiments (WTEs) and in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jweia.2020.104331
Abstract: Abstract Flow conditions in complex terrains such as fjords are highly three-dimensional and thus not properly captured by the wind flow models developed for homogenous terrains. In the present study, we explore the potential of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/waf-d-16-0060.1
Abstract: AbstractThe goal of this study is to document differences in the convective structure and motion of long-track, severe-wind-producing MCSs from short-track severe-wind-producing MCSs in relation to the mean wind. An ancillary goal is to determine… read more here.
