Wind map is calculated, by simulating the atmosphere conditions with SKIRON mesoscale model. GFS 12 UTC cycle, from NCAR/NCEP is used as input. The period simulated is since June-2003 until June-2012. SKIRON long-term simulation is launched to cover the entire 9 years, generating hourly maps to the entire simulated period. With this output Iraq wind map is computed averaging 100 meters Weibull parameter A from the nine years. Typically the grid horizontal resolution is 0.05 x 0.05 and has 50 vertical levels.
