The WRF Model Forecast-Derived Low-Level Wind Shear Climatology over the United States Great Plains
For wind resource assessment projects, it is common practice to use a power-law relationship (U(z) ~ zα) and a fixed shear exponent (α = 1=7) to extrapolate the observed wind speed from a low measurement level to high turbine hub-heights. However, recent studies using tall-tower observations have fo...
