Physical limits of wind energy within the atmosphere and its use as renewable energy: From the theoretical basis to practical implications

How much wind energy does the atmosphere generate, and how much of it can at best be used as renewable energy? This review aims to give physically-based answers to both questions, providing first-order estimates and sensitivities that are consistent with those obtained from numerical simulation mode...
