Automated Estimation of Local Wind Enhancement in Novorossisk

M. V. Bukharov, V. M. Losev, and B. E. Peskov

A new concept of automated evaluation of local wind maximum speed in mountain regions is considered. The approach is based on taking into account the empirical dependence between the maximum registered wind enhancement in a particular district and prognostic evaluations of background meteorological parameters less detailed in space. Empirical dependencies are established for the Novorossisk region from the data of spring and fall of 2008. It is shown that the new approach complements the technology of maximum wind speed evaluation at the ground currently in use. In most cases, it allows rather accurate evaluation of expected local wind enhancement up to 20–30 m/s in Novorossisk in warm period.
