Abstract:
The marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL), under most wind conditions, is characterized by lower shear, less turbulence, and higher winds than its terrestrial counterpart, thereby making offshore wind farms attractive enough to offset higher costs of construction and maintenance. Significant questions, however, remain about the structure and characteristics of the MABL and its impact on wind turbines. This work characterizes the structure of the MABL in the coastal region south of Martha’s Vineyard where offshore wind turbines are planned to operate, using in situ and remotely sensed LIDAR measurements and numerical data generated by high resolution Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) modeling. This work will benefit wind power estimates and short-term energy forecasting.
