Wind power forecastingA wind power forecast corresponds to an estimate of the expected production of one or more wind turbines (referred to as a wind farm) in the near future, up to a year. Forecast are usually expressed in terms of the available power of the wind farm, occasionally in units of energy, indicating the power production potential over a time interval.
Atmosphère terrestreLatmosphère terrestre est l'enveloppe gazeuse, entourant la Terre, que l'on appelle air. L'air sec se compose à 78,087 % de diazote, à 20,95 % de dioxygène, à 0,93 % d'argon, à 0,041 % de dioxyde de carbone, et de traces d'autres gaz. L'atmosphère protège la vie sur Terre en filtrant le rayonnement solaire ultraviolet, en réchauffant la surface par la rétention de chaleur (effet de serre) et en réduisant partiellement les écarts de température entre le jour et la nuit.
Leaching model (soil)A leaching model is a hydrological model by which the leaching with irrigation water of dissolved substances, notably salt, in the soil is described depending on the hydrological regime and the soil's properties. The model may describe the process (1) in time and (2) as a function of amount of water applied. Leaching is often done to reclaim saline soil or to conserve a favorable salt content of the soil of irrigated land as all irrigation water contains salts.
