Observations of Wind Turbine Wakes

We utilize profiling lidar (Aitken et al. J Tech 2012Rhodes and Lundquist BLM 2013Lundquist et al. AMT 2015Mirocha et al. JRSE 2015Lee and Lundquist BLM 2017), scanning lidar (Smalikho et al. J Tech 2013Mirocha et al. JRSE 2014Aitken et al. J Tech 2014Aitken and Lundquist J Tech 2014Banta et al. J Tech 2015,  Bodini et al. AMT 2017), radiometers (Friedrich et al. GRL 2012Bianco et al. AMT 2017), meteorological towers (Vanderwende and Lundquist ERL 2012Clifton et al. JSEE 2013) and tethered lifting systems (Lundquist and Bariteau BLM 2015) to study the development and propagation of wind turbine wakes in different atmospheric conditions, with special interest in wind farms co-located with agriculture (Rajewski et al. BAMS 2013Rajewski et al. AFM 2014). Our algorithms for wake characterization are publicly-available at https://github.com/nicolabodini/CWEX13.
