The temporal and spatial variability in the New Jersey offshore wind resource has large implications on the energy production for proposed offshore wind parks. The Rutgers University Weather Research and Forecasting (RUWRF) mesoscale atmospheric modeling system can begin to diagnose as well as predict key sources of variability both in space and time, including sea and land breezes and frontal passages...
Hurricane Irene followed a track that curved northward over the Bahamas and ran directly over the U.S. east coast from Cape Hatteras to New England in August of 2011, causing severe storm surges, intense inland flooding, loss of life and over $8 billon in storm damage. While the ensemble of atmospheric forecast models accurately predicted the hurricane timing and track, the hurricane intensity was...
Studies are underway that are evaluating the offshore wind resource along the coast of New Jersey in an effort to determine the variability of the wind resource. One major source of variability is the sea-land breeze circulation that occurs during periods of peak energy demand. The sea breeze front, driven by the thermal difference between the warm land and relatively cooler ocean during hot summer...
