Sentences with phrase «scale wind variability»

It was developed using microscale modelling to capture small scale wind variability, allowing for better estimates of the aggregated wind resources.

Lozier (p. 1507) discusses how recent studies have challenged our view of large - scale ocean circulation as a simple conveyor belt, by revealing a more complex and nuanced system that reflects the effects of ocean eddies and surface atmospheric winds on the structure and variability of the ocean's overturning.

The CTD sections show that the deeper layers are also warmer and slightly saltier and the observed sea level can be explained by steric expansion over the upper 2000 m. ENSO variability impacts on the northern part of the section, and a simple Sverdrup transport model shows how large - scale changes in the wind forcing, related to the Southern Annular Mode, may contribute to the deeper warming to the south.

Variability with MJO characteristics (e.g., convection and wind anomalies of the correct spatial scale that propagate coherently eastward with realistic phase speeds) is simulated in many contemporary models (e.g., Sperber et al., 2005; Zhang, 2005), but this variability is typically not simulated to occur often enough or with sufficient strength so that the MJO stands out realistically above the broadband background variability (Lin et Variability with MJO characteristics (e.g., convection and wind anomalies of the correct spatial scale that propagate coherently eastward with realistic phase speeds) is simulated in many contemporary models (e.g., Sperber et al., 2005; Zhang, 2005), but this variability is typically not simulated to occur often enough or with sufficient strength so that the MJO stands out realistically above the broadband background variability (Lin et variability is typically not simulated to occur often enough or with sufficient strength so that the MJO stands out realistically above the broadband background variability (Lin et variability (Lin et al., 2006).

As noted above, patterns of large - scale variability in the extratropical atmospheric wind field exhibit variations on timescales from weeks to decades (Hartmann and Lo, 1998; Feldstein, 2000).

Using atmospheric general - circulation models, as well as coupled ocean - atmosphere models, he investigates the interactions between large - scale climate systems such as ocean and wind currents to understand natural variability and how climate responds to human - made forcings.

Economical, large - scale energy storage would also even out variability in certain other alternative energy sources such as wind power (for which tractor - trailer - size sodium sulfur batteries are currently being tested).

LONDON — As wind and large - scale solar become more dominant parts of the power generation portfolio, how do we best deal with the variability issue?
