On Wednesday, December 18, 2024, at 8:00 to 9:00 am MST, join a webinar entitled “Project Overview and Initial Results from the Third Wind Forecast Improvement Project (WFIP-3).”

Anthony Kirincich, Senior Scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, will present initial results from WFIP-3, a project focusing on the offshore wind regime along the U.S. East Coast. WFIP-3 seeks to improve the physical understanding of mesoscale and smaller meteorological and oceanographic processes that directly affect wind resource characterization in the offshore environment. Toward this goal, the team is operating a 3-D multiscale sensor array within the Northeast U.S. outer continental shelf to highly resolve vertical and horizontal structure of the marine boundary layer in and around active and planned offshore wind energy lease areas. The data collected will be used to improve wind energy forecasts over short and long time scales. 

The event takes place fully online; join via Zoom. It is part of a monthly webinar series entitled “European-American Collaboration in Wind Energy.” Watch previous recordings on YouTube.

This is a RAL/MMM seminar, hosted by NSF NCAR’s Research Applications Laboratory (RAL) and Mesoscale & Microscale Meteorology (MMM).
