Wind Forecasting Receives $2.5 Million Boost From US DOE

Clean Technica: The US Department of Energy (DOE) is investing $2.5 million into a new project intended to research the atmospheric pressures that generate wind in mountain-valley regions. And while it might not sound glamorous to you (though it does to me), the in-depth research is set to provide better data for the wind industry’s weather models for short-term wind forecasts, allowing wind farms to operate closer to maximum capacity and contributing more to the energy grid.
