Abstract
Envisat/ASAR-derived offshore wind speeds
and energy densities based on 4 different SAR wind speed
retrieval algorithms (CMOD4, CMOD-IFR2, CMOD5,
CMOD5.N) are compared with observed wind speeds and
energy densities for evaluating offshore wind energy
resources. CMOD4 ignores effects of atmospheric stability,
while CMOD5.N assumes a neutral condition. By utilizing
Monin-Obukov similarity theory in the inverse LKB code,
equivalent neutral wind speeds derived from CMOD5.N are
converted to stability dependent wind speeds (CMOD5N_
SDW). Results of comparison in terms of energy density
indicate the CMOD5N_SDW shows the lowest errors than the
other algorithms.
