Simulated Wind Speed m/s 100m Vietnam 5km 2003-2010 WBG

Generalized mean wind speed covering the years 2003-2010 at 100 m a.g.l., measured in m per second. These data introduce flat terrain and uniform roughness length of 10cm across the study area. This generalized model allows for users to plug in their own microscale orography and roughness values in custom simulations. These data were developed using the Weather, Research, and Forecasting model at a 5km interval. The original modeling work was performed by DTU. 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.
