DWD (German Weather Service) has commissioned GL Garrad Hassan to be responsible for an sub-project within the scope of the "FINO Wind" research project.
This involves taking an inventory of the metadata, utilisation and collection of LiDAR wind measurement data for the correction of mast effects, as well as the uncertainty estimation and assessment of the measuring set-up and data. The objective of the research project is to combine the measurement campaigns on the three FINO platforms as well as to develop standardised analyses of the FINO wind measurement data. Overall responsibility for the three-year research project lies with DWD, which coordinates several research partners in this project. The results of the 'FINO Wind' project will make a decisive contribution to obtaining a cohesive overview of the wind conditions in the North Sea and Baltic Sea. Furthermore, the project will ensure that measurement, testing and homogenisation standards are developed that ensure comparability under offshore conditions independent of the individual circumstances.
