Some (surely not final) words on the Monin-Obukhov Similarity Theory combined with the Charnock relationship aka “the good (old) sfc layer parametrisation”

Variances and co. (summary)
A quick follow-up on “Variances and co. (turbulence intensity offshore)”.
Buoys buoys buoys… (ERA5/CFS winds)
Yet another post on ERA5 wind speeds, the Charnock parameter, this time featuring met buoys (but also, don’t worry, wind energy met masts and LiDARs)
Scalar- and vector wind speeds, with a Doppler Beam Swinging LiDAR
A tale of two wind speed retrieval methods, sonics, cups and LiDARs, offshore and onshore (yes, all that!)
Reconciling surface layers wind speeds in CFS and ERA5 reanalyses #lifehack
A deep-dive in the surface layer over the ocean, in {CFSR,CFSv2} and ERA5.
A simple recipe for deriving a near-hub height wind speed from {CFSR,CFSv2} #lifehack
When lifes give you only 10m winds, you gotta fight back.
Atmospheric stability is our friend (yes it is)
Very high-level walk-through of atmospheric stability characterisation offshore.
