Observation and Simulation of Wind Speed and Wind Power Density over Bac Lieu Region by Hiep Van Nguyen, Pham Xuan Thanh, Nguyen Duc Nam, Nguyen Xuan Anh, Pham Le Khuong, Hoang Hai Son, Nguyen Tien Manh, Pham Chi Cong

“…Low-level wind speed reaches the maximum at about 14 LT to 15 LT when the vertical momentum mixing is highly active. Wind speeds over the eastern coastal region of Southern Vietnam are much stronger in winter than in summer due to two main reasons, including (1) stronger large-scale wind speed in winter than in summer and (2) funnel effect creating a local maximum wind speed over the nearshore ocean which then transports high-momentum air inland in winter.…”
