局所的風況予測モデルLAWEPSによる海上風推定

抄録

A Iocal wind prediction model named LAWEPS (Local Wind Energy Prediction System) isdeveloped. LAWEPS is based on the computer fluid dynamics theory, and its goal is the accurate wind speed estimation with the accuracy of yearly mean wind speed error of 10%. Its validation results show that the wind estimation error is within 5%.
LAWEPS is applied to the ocean surface wind estimation around Tokyo bay and Setana port area. Wind estimation is compared to observed wind data over the ocean. It is concluded that the wind estimation by LAWEPS has enough accuracy for practical use, and LAWEPS will be a powerful tool for wind estimation over the ocean.
