Peter A. Taylor Centre for Research in Earth and Space Science, York University, Toronto and 2 Zephyr North Canada, Burlington, Ontario The Askervein Experiment (1982,1983)

Originated from IEA meetings about 1980 Discussions with Unsal Hassan (then with CERL), Paul Mason (UKMO) and others.

BASIC 1982, reports at:

Ordance Survey Map that we had in 1982 Google Earth HT 57°11'16.63"N, 7°22'45.07"W

I should have a better copy somewhere!!!

Instrumentation Lots of cup anemometers, mostly on about fifty 10-m posts – Gill, Casella, Vector, Friedrichs Gill UVW propeller anemometers – signal conditioning problems. RM Young windmonitor TALA kites, single (Peter Taylor et al) and multiple (Nick Cook) Sonics (Risø + AES, Hans Teunissen) Radiosondes 50-m towers at HT and RS, 30-m tower near upwind base of hill. Data acquisition! Computers and lots of magnetic tape in hilltop caravan and Reference station shed. Sea Data tape loggers. Pulse counters, electronic and mechanical (Casella anemometers)

RS profile, with TALA kite data

WALMSLEY Atmospheric Environment Service, Downsview, Ontario M3H 5T4 Canada and PETER A. TAYLOR Department of Earth and Atmospheric Science, York University, North York, Ontario M3J IP3 Canada (Received in final form 20 October, 1995) Abstract. One of the objectives of the Askervein Hill Project was to obtain a comprehensive and accurate dataset for verification of models of flow and turbulence over low hills. In the present paper, a retrospective of the 1982 and 1983 Askervein experiments is presented. The field study is described in brief and is related to similar studies conducted in the early 1980s. Data limitations are discussed and applications of numerical and wind-tunnel models to Askervein are outlined. Problems associated with model simulations are noted and model results are compared with the field measurements.

Bolund, L/z 0 = x 10 3 : h/L = ; h = 10.9 m, L was not well defined – not the simple hill we had looked for in 1980s: Note that L is upwind distance to point where z s = h/2. B B

Run TU-03B, Φ = 210°, October 1983

Raw Data – Mean Flow

Askervein '83, Raw Data – Tala Kites and Turbulence Runs

MS3DJH does well on upstream side of the hill but not in lee of the hill when intermittent separation occurs

Simple Guidelines estimates, GLW: A= , B=

Sample hilltop profiles, with kite and tower data ø = 165° ø = 180°

HT Profile contours

Sample turbulence statistics, RS + upwind hill foot

ø = 210°, note blocking at ASW 60 ■ = ASW 60

Hilltop (HT) turbulence Flow from 210 degrees, normal to ridge, σ is based on cup anemometer variance and 3-cpt Gill at 10m. From WT 95

Hilltop (HT) turbulence Flow from 130 degrees, approximately parallel to ridge, σ is based on cup anemometer variance and 3-cpt Gill at 10m

Inner Layer Depths

The roughness length anomaly Note : Hilltop area appears rougher than z 0 = 1 mm. Should look at other ways to estimate z 0 and u *

Some Conclusions Simple, linear models (MS3DJH, MSFD) appear to predict speed-up well on upwind side of the hill, and at hilltop locations. Good speed-up near the ground, ΔS ≈ 1 but at 100m, ΔS ≈ Still an advantage for wind energy. Limited success with turbulence measurement, sonics and tilted Gills. RDT predictions of turbulence reductions (σ s ) above the hilltop were validated. A good data set for model validations – widely used.
