Annual Mean Wind Speed Mexico at 80m

Preliminary wind resource maps for Mexico were made by using hourly wind speed data for the year 2005, obtained by means of the MM5 program at 50 meters height every 9 kilometers. Extrapolation of wind speed at 80 meters was performed by using the power law with an exponent of 1/7. Subsequently, the velocity values obtained every 9 kilometers were interpolated each 1 kilometer. The wind resource maps are available on the IIE's website at 50 and 80 meters height on a monthly and yearly basis, for wind speed and power density.
