Wind Speed at 100 m m/s Maldives 2km 2004-2014 WBG

The average wind speed (m/s) at 100m (above ground level) was calculated from the 10-year, hourly simulation at a 2km resolution. The data were created by DNV-GL.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.
