Wind

On 7 September 2021, a NOAA WP-3D flew a mission through Hurricane Larry with the Imaging Wind and Rain Airborne Profiler (IWRAP) mounted on the aircraft. Horizontal wind vectors and atmospheric wind speeds were retrieved from the Ku-band radar measurements, and are presented with equivalent reflectivity estimates from IWRAP and other measurements and retrievals from collocated instruments (e.g., flight-level wind sensors and the Stepped Frequency Microwave Radiometer [SFMR]). The radar was configured to sample at two incidence angles: 31 degrees and 51 degrees.

ERA5 derived time series of European country-aggregate electricity demand, wind power generation and solar power generation: hourly data from 1979-2019. The ERA5 reanalysis data (1979-2019) has been used to calculate the hourly country aggregated wind and solar power generation for 28 European countries based on a distribution of wind and solar farms which is considered to be representative of the 2017 situation. In addition a corresponding daily time series of nationally aggregated electricity demand is provided.
