Editorial W IND E NGINEERING VOLUME 37, N O. 1, 2013 PP iii-iv iii We start off the New Year with a most interesting issue of Wind Engineering from a group of international authors. The first paper is on the subject of wind resource assessment and siting for Malaysia. Its authors are Albani, Ibrahim and Yong from the University of Malaysia T erengganu and Muzathik from the University of Moratuwa (Sri Lanka). The next two papers investigate the subject of wind profiles in front of and behind utility scale wind turbines. The first paper here used a CFD model to determine the incoming vertical wind speed profile. The authors, Mohamed and Wood are from the University of Calgary (Canada). The next paper is by Hancock from the University of Surrey (UK). He presents an analytical analysis of wind turbines in a row via use of actuator disk theory and empirical representation of turbulent diffusion in the wake. The fourth and fifth papers of this issue investigate icing on wind turbine blades and are by authors from Narvik University College (Norway) and the University of Hertfordshire (UK). The first paper is by Alsabagh, Tiu, XU and Virk and reviews the effects of ice accretion on the structural behavior of wind turbines. Next, Ghani and Virk present the results of an experimental study on ice detection using a thermal infrared technique. The subject of the grid integration of wind and hydropower is addressed in the sixth paper of this issue. Its authors are Korpas, Trotscher, Voller and Tande from SINTEF Energy Research (Norway). In the seventh paper of this issue a review of the current literature concerning the perception, annoyance, and emission of low-frequency noise from wind turbines is presented. Its author is Doolan from the University of Adelaide (Australia). The eighth, a technical note and final paper of this issue is by Farthing from Wing'd Pump Associates (Canada). It discusses some analysis of the Betz limit for horizontal axis wind turbines. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Wind Engineering SAGE
