Innhold
The course presents a number of selected topics within state-of-the-art energy meteorology.
Emphasis is on both advanced methods for the data acquisition of the fields on solar irradiance and wind speed and methods for the modelling of the respective fields. The course will contain selected topics from the following list:
-
Radiative transfer in the atmosphere
-
Remote sensing of the atmosphere
-
Derivation of irradiance data from satellite information
-
Advanced methods for wind measurements, both local (e.g. ultrasonic) and remotely (Sodar and Lidar)
-
Mesoscale and microscale modelling of wind fields
