Computer models of wind flow around and across terrain are important for topics such as weather forecasting, wind energy, and air pollution. Unfortunately, these models still struggle in complex terrain. To address these problems, a group of US scientists is planning on joining an existing European wind energy study in order to collect a reference data set with a set of instruments that will provide unprecedented views of the flow over two parallel hills in Portugal. This data set will likely be used in modeling studies for decades to come. This award provides funding for the planning activities to enhance the US contribution to the campaign. The Perdigao Field Experiment will take place in 2017 in Portugal, mainly funded by a consortium of European countries interested in wind energy resource planning. The US component of the project would bring additional instrumentation and a more basic science focus on microscale meteorology in complex terrain. The award that is being funded is considered a Scientific Planning Overview document and serves as the scientific basis for the campaign. Individual science proposals will be reviewed separately.

周围和跨地形风流的计算机模型对于天气预报、风能和空气污染等主题非常重要。 不幸的是，这些模型仍然在复杂的地形中挣扎。 为了解决这些问题，一组美国科学家正计划加入一项现有的欧洲风能研究，以便通过一组仪器收集参考数据集，这些仪器将提供葡萄牙两座平行山上气流的前所未有的视图。 该数据集可能会在未来几十年内用于建模研究。 该奖项为规划活动提供资金，以增强美国对该运动的贡献。佩迪高现场实验将于 2017 年在葡萄牙进行，主要由对风能资源规划感兴趣的欧洲国家组成的财团资助。 该项目的美国部分将带来更多仪器和更基础的科学重点，重点关注复杂地形中的微观气象学。 正在资助的奖项被视为科学规划概述文件，并作为该活动的科学基础。 个别科学提案将单独审查。
