Using the observations from the Crop Wind Energy
eXperiment 2011 (CWEX-11) and model outputs from the Weather Research
and Forecasting (WRF) model, I investigated the evening transition of
wind turbine wakes. The paper is submitted to Boundary-Layer Meteorology and is in review.

Currently I am working on verifying the power output from the
Wind Farm Parameterization
of the WRF model using CWEX-13 data.

In my undergraduate
thesis, I verified the tropical storm track and intensity
forecast made by the GFS model under the guidance of Mark
Wysocki.
We found that the GFS model yields larger longitudinal errors,
underestimates TC strengths and has a north and east bias. An
elliptical
forecast cone is recommended for operational use to replace the
traditional
circular forecast cone. I presented my poster
at the AMS conference in January 2013. |
