CARAVELE Webinar
Published on 29/11/2021
The CARAVELE project is coming to an end. Its objective was to improve the characterisation of extreme winds by combining atmospheric models with satellite and in-situ observations. The results webinar was held on Friday 26 November 2021 with 30 participants. It focused on wind forecasting based on field data.
The programme was as follows:
- Context and objectives of the CARAVELE project – Jean-François Filipot, France Energies Marines > Replay
- Emulation of coastal wind using SAR data – Romain Husson, CLS > Replay
- Analog forecasting applied to offshore renewable energies sector – Paul Platzer, Ifremer > Replay
- Optimisation of sensors siting for offshore wind resource assessment – Maxime Thiébaut, France Energies Marines > Replay
- Characterisation of extreme winds (cyclones) using SAR data – Alexis Mouche, Ifremer > Replay
- Interactive Q&A Session, Conclusion and perspectives – Bertrand Chapron, Ifremer > Replay
