Validation report WAsP12.8

[Rogier]

WAsP 12.8 has been released. We have done extensive validation of the new model and have gathered 109 tall masts from 4 different continents to test the new model. For each of these sites the ERA5 stability data is extracted an used as input for WAsP12.8. The previous version 12.7 with default heat fluxes all over the world is also tested. At each masts we do 3 cross-predictions, i.e. using the input at one height and predicting at another height, comparing with observations at that height. Some sites also include horizontal cross predictions from one mast to another one. You can find the full report with all the error metrics here:
