Wind renewable energy is a growing and sustainable source of energy world-wide. Earth Sciences plays a large and increasing role in identifying locations for harnessing wind energy; examining potential impacts and forecasting renewable energy for dissemination in electrical grids. This session welcomes all Earth Sciences research on wind energy including: wake effects, habitat impacts, climatological studies, boundary layer modeling, wind measurements particularly from new studies, forecasting, integration of wind into energy grids and other related topics. All scientists, including early career scientists, individuals from under-represented groups, international colleagues, and those involved in cross-disciplinary research are encouraged to both submit and attend. This session is being coordinated with the other proposed sessions on Renewable Energy, including those on Marine Renewable Energy, Integration-Open Topics and Solar Energy.
