5.1 Wind characterization
Whether it's to validate the various wind models we've developed (§ 3.1 ), to provide decision support when siting machines on a given site, or to assess the usable energy potential, it's necessary to characterize the wind.
The first exploitable data come from satellite measurements, which provide continuous...
