In 1987-after several years of development work-the Department of Meteorology and Wind Energy(now : Wind Energy and Atmospheric Physics Department) at Riso National laboratory introduced WAsP-a powerful tool for wind climate estimation, data analysis and siting of wind turbines. WAsP constitutes a complete analysis and application package. Wind data, whether in the form of a time series or a climatological table, can be transformed into regional wind atlasas. Such data may be the users own data or general climatological data. The program can be applied directly for estimation of wind climate with wind atlas data from the Danish and the European Wind Atlasas and corresponding data collections from other countries-all over the world. 2, record 1, English, - Wind%20Atlas%20Analysis%20and%20Application%20Program

We created a reduced-form climate model that is based upon a series of previously conducted transient atmosphere-ocean general circulation model(AOGCM) simulations. For the model, we constructed a set of multiple regression transformation equations that relate the time history of radiative forcing to future transient climate change. These transformation equations were derived for a global grid and enable us to estimate future transient climate for a number of variables and for a wide range of CO2 and aerosol emission scenarios. 3, record 2, English, - transient%20climate%20change

Scénarios qui illustrent la répartition spatiale du réchauffement de température (°C) et du changement dans le régime de précipitation (mm/jour) sur le globe. Ces résultats sont obtenues par simulation d'un modèle de changement climatique transitoire avec augmentation du forçage dû aux gaz à effet de serre et aux aérosols. Ces deux schémas sont les résultats d'un ensemble de quatre simulations de changements climatiques transitoires [...] 1, record 2, French, - changement%20climatique%20transitoire
