Useful reference text underpinning the theory behind wind resource assessment along with its practical application. Handbook of Wind Resource Assessment provides a comprehensive description of the background theory, methods, models, applications, and analysis of the discipline of wind resource assessment, covering topics such as climate variability, measurement, wind distributions, numerical modeling, statistical modeling, reanalysis datasets, applications in different environments (onshore and offshore), wind atlases, and future climate. 606 $aWinds$xSpeed$xMeasurement 606 $aWind power$xMeasurement 610 $aPhysics 610 $aScience 615 0$aWinds$xSpeed$xMeasurement. 615 0$aWind power$xMeasurement. 676 $a551.51/80287 700 $aWatson$b Simon$01761177 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910878085903321 996 $aHandbook of Wind Resource Assessment$94200464 997 $aUNINA
