Editorial W IND E NGINEERING VOLUME 37, N O. 4, 2013 PP iii-iv iii Here is the fourth issue for 2013 containing eight papers from a worldwide group of wind engineering researchers. Our first paper is from the OWEMES meeting that was featured in our last issue. It features a mesoscale model using surface wind data inferred from Portuguese satellite sources. The authors are Marujo, Costa, Fernandes, Simoes, and Estanqueiro from the National Laboratory of Energy and Geology (Portugal). The next three papers are concerned with wind resource assessment and forecasting. The first of these is by Bayray and seven other authors from Mekelle University In Ethiopia. They present a wind energy data analysis and mapping for Geba catchment in North Ethiopia. The second and third papers of this group are concerned with the wind resource area of wind forecasting. Thus, the third paper of this issue gives the development of a power production model using wind farm power curves. Its authors are Touani, Yu, Gagnon, and Masson from Ecole de technologie supererieure and the University of Moncton (Canada). The next paper is by Cheggaga from Saad Dahlab University (Algeria). This paper presents a wind speed forecasting method using a neural networks strategy. Our fifth paper is by Song and Lubitz from the University of Guelph (Canada) and contains a detailed Blade Element Momentum (BEM) method for predicting the performance of small wind turbine rotors. The next paper considers the role of free- stream turbulence on the flow pattern in the wake of a V AWT blade. Its authors are Ahmadi- Baloutaki, Ting, and Carriveau from the University of Windsor (Canada). The seventh paper of this issue presents an overview of possible aeroelastic instabilities for operating wind turbine blades. It is by Holierhoek from the Energy Research Center of the Netherlands. The final paper, a technical note, gives a paper of great historical interest to the wind engineering community. It is an English translation of the classical 1920’s paper of Betz and was carried out for this journal by Hamann, Thayer, and Schaffarczyk from the University of Applied Sciences, Kiel (Germany). http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Wind Engineering SAGE
