Abstract: The efficiency of a mass-consistent model for wind field adjustment depends on several parameters that arise in various stages of the process. On one hand, those involved in the construction of the initial wind field using horizontal interpolation and vertical extrapolation of the wind measures registered at meteorological stations. On the other hand, the stability parameter which allows from a strictly horizontal wind adjustment to a pure vertical one. In general, the values of all of these parameters are based on empirical laws. The main goal of this work is the estimation of these parameters using genetic algorithms, such that some of the wind velocities observed at the measurement station are regenerated as accurately as possible by the model. In addition, we study the effect of the mesh refinement on the parameter estimation in several numerical experiments. © 2004 Civil-Comp Ltd and Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
