Windspeeds at 175m in Germany, COSMO-REA6 and NEWA

Keywords: wind-speed COSMO-REA6 NEWA Germany neweuropeanwindatlas reanalysis open-data python

I'm interested in windspeeds at 175m, the turbine height of many new wind turbines in Germany, Two sources of windspeed data in EUrope are

1. https://opendata.DWD.de/.../COSMO_REA6: hourly, 1995 to 2018, 6 x 6 km grid
2. NEWA, the New European Wind Atlas, 3 x 3 km grid.

What are good places to compare the two ?

TSH levels of 111 hypothyroid people over 70: 26 % have TSH $\geq$ 4.0

TSH, Thyroid-stimulating_hormone, is measured in blood to determine a suitable dosage of L-thyroxine.

Is TSH 4.0 high ?

Wikipedia TSH gives "reference ranges" of $0.4 - 4.0$ μIU/mL.

Callback to track and stop scipy solve_ivp

Keywords: scipy solve_ivp callback ODE ordinary-differential-equation IVP initial-value-problem python

Purpose

add a callback function to the scipy ODE solver solve_ivp, so that you can

• print progress at each timestep
• tell the solver to stop if h is too small, or KeyboardInterrupt, or ... and return the sol so far.

Cosmopy: clip and regrid COSMO_REA6 wind data to python numpy

Keywords: Cosmo_rea6 DWD wind-data python numpy

Purpose: DWD, the German Meteorological Service, has wind data for Europe on a 6 x 6 km grid, from 1995 to August 2019, hourly, at heights 10 100 .. 200m. These are in 2 gigabyte files like
https://opendata.dwd.de/climate_environment/REA/COSMO_REA6/converted/hourly/2D/WS_100m.2D.201908.nc4
-- windspeed data at 100m for 2019 August.

Old mst.py with Kruskal's algorithm

mst.py is simple old (2011) code for MSTs using Kruskal's algorithm -- see the animation there.

Kleinberg-Tardos:

single-link k-clustering == MST k-1 most expensive edges

but min( max spacing ), Theorem 1, may be wrong or at least odd for k-clustering ?

Windspeeds in Bayern, COSMO_REA6 vs. ERA5

Here are plots of average windspeeds in Bayern in January 2018 at 100m,
COSMO_REA6 on its ~ 6 × 6 km grid
ERA5 on its 0.25° × 0.25° grid.
We see big differences over the Alps in the south and over hilly areas in north Bayern.

Windspeeds and capacity factors in the Netherlands from wikipedia, KNMI and globalwindatlas

Keywords: wind, wind farm, wind speed, capacity factor, onshore, Netherlands, globalwindatlas, GWA, KNMI

What I want to do is show my neighbors around Munich that windfarms make more sense where there's more wind. GWA has a nice GUI, which everyone can understand. But are their wind speed and capacity factors accurate enough to convince anyone ?
