Sažetak
Wind energy resources rely heavily on the underlying airflow characteristics ; in particular, on the mean wind speed and its spatio-temporal variability. Since there is hardly any horizontally homogeneous natural land-surface, over which a homogeneous wind field exists (not to mention stratification effects), mountain meteorology (MM) becomes an essential ingredient in wind engineering. Here we skim over three chapters of MM and show in passing our contribution to some of these MM chapters: valley flows, mountain waves and downslope windstorms. Among other features, we tackle rotors and Bora-wind pulsations. Moreover, we have just found out observed and simulated T ≈ 8 min. periodicity, like pulsations, in a Bora case upstream from Split ; this is a new result of this study
