Short summary
This study presents a new way to simulate the wind in the lower atmosphere while taking into account the changes in temperature. The model is much faster than previous models while having the same level of accuracy. This study is a step toward making highly accurate software to predict the output of wind farms fast enough for use in the wind industry, ultimately making electricity from wind energy cheaper and more reliable.
