From the reviews:

"The book was triggered by the dramatically boomed wind energy utilisation. ... It is a text book for boundary-layer meteorology, flow simulation, time series analyses and modelling of the behaviour of wind farms also. So the models are well described and their application for wind power prediction is demonstrated. ... The book is provided for scientists and engineers mainly. The text is written very clear. It is completed by 89 figures and 13 tables." (K. Schäfer, Meteorologische Zeitschrift, Vol. 16 (3), 2007)
