Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a three-dimensional, higher-order turbulence closure model is applied to simulate the boundary layer dynamics in Attica peninsula, where the city of Athens is located, and all model equations are transformed to a terrain influenced coordinate system, which enables studies of flow over complex terrain.

TL;DR: In this article, a topo-climatological research was carried out in the Kallia region in the north-western section of the Dead Sea during the period April 1969 to March 1970.
Abstract: During the period April 1969 to March 1970 a topo-climatological research was carried out in the Kallia region in the north-western section of the Dead-Sea. This article deals only with the wind regime in this area. The unusual location of the Dead-Sea in the Jordan Rift Valley combined with the developing of pressure systems in summer over the eastern Mediterranean are and passing over Israel in winter, the influence of the Mediterranean-sea breeze and lastly the sea breeze which the Dead-Sea develops because of being itself a large body of water, couse a complicated daily and seasonal wind system. In summer the regional pressure systems are of a great steadiness, a fact which is of great importance in the developing of the daily wind regime in this area. On the other hand, in winter, because three out of the four main factors influencing the wind system weaken, the degree of steadiness of the dominent winds reduce and the wind regime changes.

TL;DR: In this paper, a more complete image of the wind climate in the area targeted, the results show that in general a good agreement is encountered between the measured data and the numerical models as regards the overall spatial and seasonal evolutions of wind conditions.
Abstract: The main objective of the present work is to provide a more comprehensive picture of the wind patterns in the Black Sea basin. The analysis is based on 14 years of data (1999–2012) coming from both measurements and reanalysis model wind fields. A first perspective of the wind conditions in the coastal environment of the Black Sea is given by considering data from several offshore weather stations that operate in the western sector of the sea. The above analysis is completed using remotely sensed data as well as wind fields from two atmospheric models operated by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts and the U.S. National Centres for Environmental Prediction. Beside a more complete image of the wind climate in the area targeted, the results show that in general a good agreement is encountered between the measured data and the numerical models as regards the overall spatial and seasonal evolutions of the wind conditions. The results indicate also that significant energetic wind conditions more often occur in the western part of the sea. These appear to be very similar with those from several offshore locations where wind farms already operate. Following this observation, and using the same data set, direct comparisons with four such locations from the Baltic Sea are also performed. The main conclusion of the work is that the coastal environment of the Black Sea, and especially that from its western side, is appropriate for wind energy extraction.
