  • 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.
