Perdigao Field Experiment

Data repository of a meteorological experiment conducted in Perdigão, Portugal between December 15, 2016 to June 15, 2017. The Perdigao field project is part of a larger joint US/European multi-year program in Portugal. The project is partially funded by the European Union (EU) ERANET+ to provide the wind energy sector with more detailed resource mapping capabilities in the form of a new digital EU wind atlas. A major goal of the Perdigão field project is to quantify errors of wind resource models against a benchmark dataset collected in complex terrain. The US participation will complement this activity by identifying physical and numerical weaknesses of models and developing new knowledge and methods to overcome such deficiencies.

葡萄牙佩迪高地区于2016年12月15日至2017年6月15日期间进行的一项气象实验的数据存储库。佩迪高野外项目是美国与欧洲联合发起的、在葡萄牙开展的多年度大型项目的一部分。该项目部分由欧盟（EU）ERANET+资助，旨在为风能行业提供更为详尽的资源测绘能力，形式上为一种新的数字版欧盟风能图集。佩迪高野外项目的主要目标之一，是对比复杂地形中收集的基准数据集，量化风资源模型的误差。美国参与方的任务将通过识别模型的物理和数值缺陷，以及开发新的知识和方法来克服这些不足，以此补充上述活动。
