Wind resource, metocean and extreme conditions

The objective of this session is to join experimental and simulation experts to share challenges, insights and best practices when porting irregular and volume-averaged wind estimates from lidars into rectilinear, regular, discrete spaces. To that end, this session encompasses research involving wind lidars and numerical simulations. The work might include real-world lidar measurements that are used as initial or boundary conditions to a simulation, or as an independent dataset for validating specific models. Alternatively, the work may feature virtual lidars or lidar simulators across a variety of applications. This mini-symposium is a joint effort between two tasks in the International Energy Agency Wind Technologies Collaboration Programme: Task 52 on Wind Lidar and Task 57 on the Joint Assessment of Models.

Submissions are welcome from both participants of the two Tasks as well as from those who are not yet active.
