Wind Roughness index of wind speed (m/s) at 100m agl Zambia 100m 2004-2015 WBG

Data derived from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) vegetation type and processed using WRF Preprocessing system (WPS); aerodynamic roughness length in [m]. This 2-km resolution wind atlas is based on a complete 10-year simulation of the local and regional wind flows. The wind simulation was generated using DNV's GL Wind Mapping System (WMS): a dynamic downscaling system developed to generate high-resolution mesoscale wind maps.The map is an un-validated, satellite-derived estimate. As part of phase II of the WBG initiative, these maps will be validated through the use of ground measurement data, and until the data collection period is finished should be considered for policy use, rather than energy prospecting, following IRENA's classification of renewable energy data.
