Atqasuk Hoar Frost – Light Rime “Data recovery in Atqasuk was marginal with 63 to 73 percent data return from the anemometers and wind vane. The missing data represents the windier winter months when data recovery was extremely poor. This poor data recovery was due to soft rime ice (hoarfrost), beginning in October and lasting to early May.” Photo: R. Hafner/WCE Photo: D. Vaught/V3

Icing Summary Super-cooled liquid exists in a cloud well below 0 deg C. Meteorological studies are essential prior to wind development. Presence of icing/ice-free sites is not an “either/or” state, rather a gradient. Find the balance between better wind regimes vs. icing losses. Very site specific based on terrain, predominant wind directions and presence of moist air masses. Some icing can impact turbine output and even affect turbine survivability.
