Description

Codes and atlas output for lifetime prediction of wind turbine blade coatings and PV panel damage.

MATLAB code need to derive probability of damaging hail for solar PV panels based on RADAR data and insitu rainfall rates: HAILFLUX.m

MATLAB code need to derive accumulated distance to failure of wind turbine blade coatings based on RADAR data and insitu rainfall rates and wind speeds and the Springer model: Springer4Hail_Rain.m

Netcdf file of the wind turbine blade coating atlas for CONUS based on analyses for rain and hail:  HailAtlas_WT.nc

Netcdf file of the solar PV panel damage probability for CONUS: HailAtlas_SP.nc
