SRID 4326 of two available coordinate systems. Annual average of the aeolic potential at 50m. Content: wind speed in m/s, power class (7 classes), power density in W/m2 and Weibull k value organized into cells with 10km x 10km (Purpose): The thematic map by code of colors permits quick viewing of all the Brazilian territory dataset. That map indicates, for the height of 50m, the annual average, in W/m2, of wind speed, power class, power density and Weibull k value (Supplemental Information): The information is organized into cells measuring 10 x 10km. The wind potential maps were calculated from simulations produced by the MesoMap(*) for 360 days, extracted of a period of 15 years of data. The days were chosen by means of random sampling at several heights, so that each month and season be considered in a representative way.

(*) MesoMap is an integrated group of atmospheric simulation models, geographical and meteorological databases, nets of computers and storage systems. The MesoMap has been checked by high quality anemometric measurements in a large wind regimens range.
