The model chain and the full scale spectrum of the boundary layer wind

In the European Union project: “The New European Wind Atlas [1, 2]” the model chain is a central research area. In a recent study [3] we looked into the resolution issue of linking the mesoscale models with the turbulence models by performing spectral analysis on extensive mean meteorological data and high frequency sonic anemometer data from the 100m meteorological mast at Danish test station Høvsøre.

Datasets from the offshore wind farm Horns Rev were also analyzed. The conclusions from the analysis are given below. In the present study we complement and extend the analysis using a new dataset from the test station Østerild.
