Simultaneous prediction of 10m and 100m wind speeds using a model inspired by brain emotional learning by Alireza Hakimi, Parvin Ghafarian

“…Abstract Predicting wind speed simultaneously at multiple heights, particularly at 10 and 100 metres (m), presents unique challenges due to diverse influences. At lower altitudes, wind speed is significantly affected by surface factors including roughness, vegetation, and man-made structures, causing sharp fluctuations, while at higher altitudes, it is primarily influenced by atmospheric conditions, resulting in smoother flow patterns. …”
