In modern large-scale wind farms, power loss caused by the wake effect is more than 30%, and active yaw control can greatly reduce the influence of the wake effect by deflecting the wind turbine’s wake. The yawed wind turbine’s wake characteristics are complex, and a deep comprehension of a yawed turbine’s wake is necessary. The actuator line method combined with URANS (unsteady Reynold-averaged Navier–Stokes equations) is use...

Long‐range precipitation forecasting is crucial for flooding control and water resources management. However, making precise forecasting is rather difficult due to the complex climatic factors and large uncertainties arising from long lead times. Sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) is one of the strongest signals that influence regional precipitation, often used for the development of precipitation forecasts. Traditional mo...

Summer monsoon rainfall forecasting in the Yangtze River basin is highly valuable for water resource management and for the control of floods and droughts. However, improving the accuracy of seasonal forecasting remains a challenge. In this study, a statistical model and four dynamical global circulation models (GCMs) are applied to conduct seasonal rainfall forecasts for the Yangtze River basin. The statistical forecasts are...
