WRF Model Methodology for Offshore Wind Energy Applications

Table 9

For March 2005, statistical metrics (ME in m/s, STD of the ME in m/s, and ) for wind speed [averaged over all the heights: 30 to 100 m)], so as to evaluate the performance of four PBL schemes (YSU, MYJ, ACM2, and MYNN) in the WRF model.
