A study of the variation of the surface roughness lengths at Risø, Denmark

Creator:: Hennessey, Joseph Paul Jr
Abstract:: The Risø data were analyzed for variations in the surface roughness lengths. The method of analysis was tested on the Wangara data and proved satisfactory at this homogeneous site. Annual mean surface roughness lengths were determined for three wind speed categories and three stability categories. The decrease in surface roughness...

A statistical study of Oregon coastal winds

Creator:: Detweiler, John Henry
Abstract:: The data recorded between March 3, 1969, and October 31, 1969, by a wind gauge installed at the South Jetty, Newport, Oregon, were analyzed. The components of each observation were treated as if they were an independent, normal, bivariate distribution and standard statistical procedures were applied. It was found that...

An examination of the spectrum for coastal winds on the mesoscale

Creator:: Frye, Daniel Evan
Abstract:: Wind speed data were taken at a weather station on the coast and horizontal wind speed energy spectra were computed. The shape of an average spectrum obtained in marine environment is compared with an average land spectrum and the presence of a spectral gap is observed in the shoreline spectrum....

The mesoscale wind field during project JASIN 1972

Creator:: Cummings, Timothy K.
Abstract:: The wind field measured during Project JASIN 1972, a joint British-American venture during September 1972, was analyzed. These measurements were done, with equipment manufactured by Ivar Aanderaa of Bergen, Norway, on large, anchored toroid buoys. The results of the analysis of the wind field, which included divergence and vorticity estimates...

A study of the relationship between local winds and currents over the continental shelf off Oregon

Creator:: Huyer, Adriana, 1945-
Abstract:: This thesis demonstrates that at low frequencies (periods longer than 2.5 days) local currents off the coast of Oregon are closely related to the wind. Wind and current observations made during August and September 1969 are described and compared to demonstrate that a relationship exists; the physics of the interaction...

Measuring wind speeds for small turbine sites

Creator:: Oregon State University. Extension Service and Floyd, Don
Abstract:: About 2 percent of the solar energy reaching earth is converted to wind energy. Surface winds have the potential to supply about 30 times the total energy consumed in the United States. Achieving this potential on a household level is a feat

A compilation of observation[s] from moored current meters, thermographs, and wind instrument. Vol. 4. Peru continental shelf March-April 1969

Creator:: Enfield, David Bruce, Smith, Robert L., Pattullo, J. G., Pillsbury, R. D., Hopkins, T., and Dugdale, R. C.
Abstract:: A summary of moored instrument measurements over the continental shelf of Peru is presented. Measurements of variables were made in an upwelling zone between Pisco and San Juan, from 28 March to 9 April, 1969. Time series of temperature and horizontal current and wind velocities were obtained at several depths...

Seasonal variation of wind gustiness in a portion of the Columbia Gorge

Creator:: Baker, Robert W.
Abstract:: The seasonal variation of wind speed fluctuations is studied at four locations in The Dalles area of the Columbia River Gorge. Three of the sites are located in or near the valley floor while the fourth site is on top of a 900 m (3000 ft) ridge just north of...
