We’re excited to announce our next presentation of our monthly webinar series. This December, we have a special presentation brought to you by DTU - Technical University of Denmark and NSF NCAR - The National Center for Atmospheric Research. Join us on tomorrow, December 18, 2024, at 16:00 CET (14:00 UTC, 08:00 MDT) for an insightful session featuring Anthony Kirincich from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Anthony will be diving into a “Project Overview and Initial Results from the Third Wind Forecast Improvement Project (WFIP-3)". Don't miss out on this opportunity to expand your knowledge and engage with experts in the field. 📅 Date: Wednesday, December 18, 2024 ⏰ Time: 16:00 CET | 15:00 UTC | 08:00 MDT 🔗 Join via Zoom: https://lnkd.in/dQE3z9iM 🆔 Meeting ID: 897 143 2820 We look forward to your participation! Please find some more details on the webinar below: The U.S. Department of Energy's Third Wind Forecast Improvement Project (WFIP-3) focuses on the offshore wind regime along the U.S. East Coast. WFIP-3 seeks to improve the physical understanding of mesoscale and smaller meteorological and oceanographic processes that directly affect wind resource characterization in the offshore environment. A key challenge to improving wind resource prediction is to improve understanding of the atmospheric and oceanic boundary layers and their interactions through the wave-mediated surface. Towards this project goal, a team composed of research institutions and national laboratories of the U.S. Department of Energy and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are operating a 3-D multiscale sensor array within the Northeast U.S. outer continental shelf to highly resolve vertical and horizontal structure of the marine boundary layer in and around active and planned offshore wind energy lease areas. The data collected will be used to develop and validate foundational numerical weather forecasting models, boundary layer parameterizations, and wake parameterizations to improve wind energy forecasts over short and long time scales. With field work ongoing, initial results from the first set of intensive measurement periods will be presented here. #WindEnergy #Webinar #WindForecast

In memory of our dear colleague and friend, Dries Allaerts. Born on May 19, 1989, Dries passed away on October 10, 2024, after a courageous battle with cancer. Dries started his wind energy career in 2012 and has had a profound impact since—both through his scientific contributions and the many lasting friendships. His passion for science, open spirit, and infectious sense of humor will be deeply missed. We are forever grateful for the moments we shared and the legacy he leaves behind.
