Since global reanalysis datasets first appeared in the 1990s, they have become an essential
tool to understand the climate of the past. The wind power industry uses those products …

Long‐term sustainable development of European offshore wind energy requires knowledge
of the best places for installing offshore wind farms. To achieve this, a good knowledge of …

Abstract Changes in coastal upwelling strength have been widely studied since 1990 when
Bakunproposed that global warming can induce the intensification of upwelling in …

This work aims to assess the Weather and Research Forecasting (WRF) model wind
simulation and wind energy production estimates sensitivity to different planetary boundary …

The reduction of the error in climate model's meteorological variables representation is a key
challenge to improve the reliability of future climate projections. It has special importance …

Due to the increasing interest in the prospection of potential sites for the installation of
offshore wind farms, it becomes important to extend the tests presented on Carvalho et …

The quality of MERRA-2 surface wind fields was assessed by comparing them with 10 years
of measurements from a wide range of surface wind observing platforms. This assessment …

In this work, the ERA5 reanalysis dataset, with its fine spatial and temporal resolution, is
used to study the wind speed and direction characteristics in the Mediterranean basin from …

Different offshore wind datasets were compared with buoys measurements in the Iberian
Peninsula Atlantic coast, aiming to assess the best alternatives to ocean surface measured …

Offshore wind power is emerging option in wind industry due to relatively consistent wind
behavior over ocean. This study aims to access offshore wind resource employing a novel …
