Summary
This commentary begins with a reiteration of what is known, and what has been simplified in order for general understanding to be obtained. It goes on to contrast a couple of points made by Finnigan: on the utility of Jackson-Hunt-type models; and on the limitations of wind modelling. It concludes with a short summary of poster papers presented, and with some remarks on future research needs.
