The study explored wind-wave energy distribution in parts of Ondo State coastal and offshore locations, Nigeria. This was to identify suitable locations for the deployment wind turbines wave converters (WEC) government’s proposed renewable initiative area. It involved use daily, one-hourly averaged height, period, 10 m speed data spanning from January 1, 1989, December 31, 2023, derived ERA5 reanalysis sets. height period were used compute power density, while estimate density. two-parameter...
Satellite derived solar irradiance over 25 locations in the 5 climatic zones of Nigeria (tropical rainforest TRF, Guinea savannah GS, Sahel SHS, Sudan SUS, and Mangrove swamp forest MSF) was analyzed. To justify its use, satellite data tested for goodness agreement with ground measured radiation using 26-year mean monthly daily 16 zones. The well-known R 2 , RMSE, MBE, MPE statistical tests were used good found. grouped into Frequency distribution global done each This showed that 46.88%,...
This paper describes long-term spatiotemporal trends in extreme significant wave height (SWH) the South China Sea (SCS) based on 30-year hindcast. High-resolution reanalysis wind field data sets are employed to drive a spectral model WAVEWATCH III™ (WW3). The hindcast information is validated using altimeter (Topex/Poseidon). performance satisfactory. Subsequently, yearly/seasonal/monthly mean SWH analyzed. Results showed that greater than 0.05 m yr −1 distributed over large part of central...
This study utilizes a 30-year (1980–2009) 10 m wind field dataset obtained from the European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecast to investigate energy potential in East China Sea (ECS) by using Weibull shape and scale parameters. The region generally showed good characteristics. calculated annual mean of power resource revealed large-scale grid-connected turbine applications. Furthermore, spatiotemporal variations strong trends regions surrounding Taiwan Island. These were evaluated...
Fourteen models comprising of 12 existing and 2 parameterized are evaluated for predicting the global solar irradiance on a horizontal surface at six different sites representative climatic zones Nigeria namely; Mangrove swamp forest (Calabar), Sahel Savannah (Nguru), Montane Vegetation (Yola), Sudan (Kano), Tropical rain (Ibadan) Guinea (Minna). Results showed that two from this study performed well in over with slight overestimation some cases underestimation others. However, out models,...
AbstractData-set of monthly global solar irradiance covering periods at least 20 years over selected stations in Nigeria have been utilised to investigate the sky optical conditions five major vegetation zones country. The variation clearness index for has investigated. Results show that its minimum August which indicates reduced insolation during monsoon month and maximum around November, December February shows high insolation. Statistical analysis gives percentage depletion by incoming...
Using a 30year (1976-2005) daily high-resolution reanalysis wind field dataset assimilated from several meteorological data sources, the speed and power characteristics of South China Sea (SCS) were investigated using Weibull shape scale parameters. The region in general showed good characteristics. This is shown by high annual mean density values which are 5.93 m/s 273.84 W/m2 respectively. calculated resource attributes to relatively potential site for large- grid connected turbine...
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a crucial mechanism of poleward heat transport in the ocean and climate system. It modulates redistribution carbon northern hemisphere. state AMOC recent decades has revealed slowdown compared to industrial era. Its linked number physical factors, including sea level. Along eastern seaboard North America, on long timescales, imprint projected onto level patterns. relationship between weakening not clearly understood. This study...
