“…Also, that the anemometer at Vallecitos is installed at the appropriate 10 m height above the ground, while at the SPM it is on a 6 m mast. However, it is feasible to estimate the wind speed at 10 m measured at 6 m using a simple prescription expressed in Eq 4 of Bañuelos-Ruedas et al (2011). The wind measurements guidance from the federal meteorological handbook published by Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology of USA suggest to measure wind speed averaging over two-minute period.…”

We conducted an 18 month long study of the weather conditions of the Vallecitos, a proposed site in México to harbor the northern array of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). It is located in Sierra de San Pedro Mártir (SPM) a few kilometers away from Observatorio Astronómico Nacional. The study is based on data collected by the ATMOSCOPE, a multi-sensor instrument measuring the weather and sky conditions, which was commissioned and built by the CTA Consortium. Additionally, we compare the weather conditions of the optical observatory at SPM to the Vallecitos regarding temperature, humidity, and wind distributions. It appears that the excellent conditions at the optical observatory benefit from the presence of microclimate established in the Vallecitos.

Abstract-Offshore wind power plants might be seen as high risk investments. Their risk depends on technical and financial elements. When some corporations decide to invest in a plant, they decide to take all above-mentioned risks. The question "Given a specific investor, a specific plant, etc., how big are the investment risks?" has not a clear answer. In fact, the impact of the previous risk factors on cash flows is not completely quantified, mainly because all the risks are related, but the dependency structure is difficult to be modelled. Hence, it is important to have a measure of the impact of the risks into the cash flows. Due to the lack of knowledge in this quantification, we have decided to investigate it more in the detail. The paper aims to measure the variability of cash flows and how effective are the strategies for locking electricity prices, ship freight rates, or both in the reduction of this variability. We adopt the Monte Carlo approach for simulating all the possible cash flows and for measuring all the uncertainties. The output shows that seasonal and uncertain cash flows. The strategies, for reducing the probability of negative cash flows, work only with locked electricity prices.Keywords-cash flow at risk; offshore wind energy.

“…Subsequently, the same time frame was applied for other areas. In order to compare wind speed readings taken from different heights, as seen in Table 1, we used the Hellmann exponential law to estimate the wind speed at street level (1.1 m above ground) [44]: [45]. 2 Qf denotes the mean annual heat flux density from fuel combustion and human activity.…”

Abstract:Numerous studies have shown that densely developed and populated urban areas experience significant anthropogenic heat flux and elevated concentrations of air pollutants and CO 2 , with consequences for human health, thermal comfort, and well-being. This may also affect the atmospheric composition and circulation patterns within the urban boundary layer, with consequences for local, regional, and global climate. One of the resulting local implications is the increase in urban air temperature. In this context, the present contribution explores urban fabric development and mitigation strategies for two locations in the city of Vienna, Austria. Toward this end, the potential of specific planning and mitigation strategies regarding urban overheating was assessed using a state-of-the-art CFD-based (computational fluid dynamics) numeric simulation environment. The results display different levels of effectiveness for selected design and mitigation measures under a wide range of boundary conditions.
