Offshore meteorological measurements with a CODS discus buoy

Abstract: Seven months of meterological data taken from a 10‐m discus buoy moored on the continental shelf off Nova Scotia were quantitatively as good as those from a nearby Atmospheric Environment Service weather station. The open sea, winter conditions constituted the most severe test to date of the Canadian Ocean Data System buoy.

Ten Years of Meteorological Data at Ocean Weather Station PAPA

Abstract: : The ocean weather station records provide a wealth of meteorological and oceanographic data. A ten year data record (January 1958 to December 1967) of the standard 3-hourly observations from the Canadian meteorological Service was obtained. Time series plots of the data were prepared which reveal a great deal about the meteorological variations in the open mid-latitude Pacific. The raw data were gathered by the Canadian Meteorological Service at Ocean Weather Station, PAPA(hereafter called Station P) at 50 deg N, 145 deg W using two research vessels which alternately patrol the station for periods of six weeks. The data are supplied in standard 80 column International meteorological format on digital magnetic tapes.

Prediction of Annual Energy Production of Gangwon Wind Farm using AWS Wind Data

Abstract: The wind data obtained from an AWS(Automated Weather Station) was used to predict the AEP(annual energy production) of Gangwon wind farm having a total capacity of 98 MWin Korea. A wind energy prediction program based on the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equation was used. Predictions were made for three consecutive years starting from 2007 and the results were compared with the actual AEPs presented in the CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) monitoring report of the wind farm. The results from the prediction program were close to the actual AEPs and the errors were within 7.8%.

Wind environment evaluation on major town of Malaysia

Abstract: This study focus on wind flow or wind environment of residential areas in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak. Natural wind flow is one of the most effective methods to help achieve the energy saving in large cities especially under the tropical climate like Malaysia. The weather in Malaysia is characterized by four monsoon regimes, namely, the southwest monsoon, northeast monsoon and two shorter periods of inter-monsoon seasons. For this study, the data of wind velocity in twentytwo (22) weather station in Malaysia obtained from Meteorological Department and considered in wind environment evaluations. Then that data of wind velocities will convert to 1.5 in height at all measuring points were calculated by using the law. The result compared by Table 2.2 in previous researches (Kubota and Miura et al., 2002). From the study, it was found out, in Malaysia there are only two type of wind. First type is weak wind means that area are discomfort thermal and the second type is comfort range to strong wind means that area are comfort thermal. The minimum value of mean wind speed from 2005 to 2009 is O.mis in mean temperature is over 2C at Sitiawan. For the maximum value of mean wind speed is I .7m/s in average value of mean temperature is 276C at Mersing. Base on results, it can be concluded that when considering wind flow at a residential area, terrace housing is not a suitable option for towns located on the south of the Peninsular. It was prefer for high-rise building because it was considered this location of towns was weak wind condition. On the other hand, the major towns exclude the south of the Peninsular including Sabah and Sarawak, they was under the comfort thermal. So, terrace housing or high-rise building is suitable option.
