Improving mesoscale wind speed forecasts using lidar-based observation nudging for airborne wind energy systems

<p>Airborne wind energy systems (AWESs) aim to operate at altitudes above conventional wind turbines where reliable high-resolution wind data are scarce. Wind light detection and ranging (lidar) measurements and mesoscale models both have their advantages and disadvantages when assessing the w...
