Wind energy assessment under strong mesoscale forcing

Abstract
A comparison between a numerical mesoscale model and the computationally simpler flow model developed as part of the European wind atlas is presented. Despite observed horizontal variations in topographically induced mesoscale forcing which is not incorporated in the simpler model, there is general agreement on an order of magnitude assessment of the wind energy variations. The range of applicability of such simpler wind energy assessment models is shown to be limited to regions where the mesoscale forcing inherent in the base observations has not varied appreciably.
