Abstract:This paper tackles atmospheric stability typing using a Zephyr TM 300 offshore Doppler Wind Lidar in the context of its progressive acceptance in the offshore wind-energy industry. The lidar-retrieved wind-shear exponent, which is used as a proxy atmospheric stability, is compared against the wind-shear exponent and the potential temperature gradient both retrieved from reference metmast. A total sample of 4319 measurements is analysed from IJmuiden's test campaign, in the North Sea, from This work was support… Show more
