3 The Climate System And Atmospheric Variability CLIMATE: [t]he slowly varying aspects of the atmosphere-hydrosphere land surface system...characterized in suitable averages of the climate system over periods of a month or more... (AMS Glossary 2000) 2
4 The Climate System And Atmospheric Variability CLIMATE: [t]he slowly varying aspects of the atmosphere-hydrosphere land surface system...characterized in suitable averages of the climate system over periods of a month or more... (AMS Glossary 2000) BUT: In a constantly perturbed climate system (increasing levels of CO2 --> global warming), variability becomes problematic. 2
5 The Climate System And Atmospheric Variability CLIMATE: [t]he slowly varying aspects of the atmosphere-hydrosphere land surface system...characterized in suitable averages of the climate system over periods of a month or more... (AMS Glossary 2000) BUT: In a constantly perturbed climate system (increasing levels of CO2 --> global warming), variability becomes problematic. ISSUE: How is the marine boundary layer wind profile affected when you factor in trends (what makes a trend?), climate signals (teleconnections do they interfere or re-enforce), and reference to long-term climate stations (what is a representative wind climatology?). 2

(AMS Glossary 2000) BUT: In a constantly perturbed climate system (increasing levels of CO2 --> global warming), variability becomes problematic. ISSUE: How is the marine boundary layer wind profile affected when you factor in trends (what makes a trend?), climate signals (teleconnections do they interfere or re-enforce), and reference to long-term climate stations (what is a representative wind climatology?). BIG QUESTION: How does atmospheric variability in all its flavors affect our characterization of the wind resource over the longer term? 2

8 Decrease d T gradient Global Warming and Wind Hypothesis: leads to a reduction in the meridional thermal gradient (since higher latitudes experience greater warming) and hence the pressure gradient which drives the wind. N N warming Equator Question: how will (are) these large scale changes affect(ing) distribution of offshore wind in New York? 4

10 A few years ago Associated Press, Seth Borenstein: Not so windy: Research suggests winds dying down June 10, 2009 WASHINGTON The wind, a favorite power source of the green energy movement, seems to be dying down across the United States. And the cause, ironically, may be global warming the very problem wind power seeks to address.. It s a very large effect, said study co-author Eugene Takle, a professor of atmospheric science at Iowa State University. In some places in the Midwest, the trend shows a 10 percent drop or more over a decade. That adds up when the average wind speed in the region is about 10 to 12 miles per hour. There s been a jump in the number of low or no wind days in the Midwest, said the study s lead author, Sara Pryor, an atmospheric scientist at Indiana University.Jeff Freedman, an atmospheric scientist with AWS Truewind, an Albany, N.Y., renewable energy consulting firm, has studied the same topic.he said his research has found no definitive trend of reduced surface wind speed.one of the problems Pryor acknowledges with her study is that over many years, changing conditions near wind-measuring devices can skew data. If trees grow or buildings are erected near wind gauges, that could reduce speed measurements.
