Questions to Discuss
1.What can we do if ‘long-term’ reference data is of limited duration, relevance or quality? 2.What role can ‘meso-scale’ satellite modelling approaches play to complement terrestrial wind speed measurements? 3.How do developers access the necessary expertise early in project development?
