Wind speed interpolation for evapotranspiration assessment in complex topography area

Wind speed and direction are fundamental data for many application fields, such as power generation and hydrological modelling. Wind measurements are usually few and sparse; hence, spatial interpolation of wind data is required. However, in mountainous areas with complex orography, accurate interpolation of wind data should consider topographic effects. Due to computational constraints, fully physically based methods that solve thermodynamic and...
