Three decades of professional experience in wind energy meteorology:
Field study of winds in California: Operated and maintained weather instruments, coordinated observations; performed statistical analyses (1984-85).
Wind energy resource assessments, wind turbine micrositing (United States, Italy, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Honduras), database management, meteorological tower data analysis, power performance testing, with Windots, LLC and V-Bar, LLC (1996-2012).
Independent wind resource assessment and consulting (2013-2014).
In 2013, I helped form Ensemble Wind, a group of highly-experienced meteorologists. Each of the group members has 30 years of experience in the wind industry.
