Abstract
When validating the performance of a flow model in forested areas, it is important that the model accurately represents the forest effects. This presentation concerns the use of remote-sensing technology for describing forest effects, and more specifically, how positioning lidar data can be transferred into a parametrization of forests in wind models. The presentation covers three scales: the single tree, the forest edges and clearings, and the large-scale forested landscape in which the forest effects are parameterized with a roughness length. Flow modeling results and validation against observations are presented along with the different forest presentations for each of the cases. In a new research project called InnoWind,
the use of satellite-based alternatives to airborne lidar campaigns are investigated, and examples of satellite products in wind power modeling are discussed.
