This map depicts model estimates of annual average global horizontal irradiance (GHI) at 10 km resolution based on hourly estimates of radiation over 10 years (2002-2011). The inputs are visible imagery from geostationary satellites, aerosol optical depth, water vapor, and ozone. Units: kWh/m sq. per day, Source: NREL

Map does not include shallow Deep Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) resources located near hydrothermal sites or USGS assessment of undiscovered hydrothermal resources. Source data for deep EGS includes temperature at depth from 3 to 10 km provided by Southern Methodist University Geothermal Laboratory (Blackwell & Richards, 2009) and analyses (for regions with temperatures ≥150°C) performed by NREL (2009). N/A regions have temperatures less than 150°C at 10 km depth and were not assessed for deep EGS potential. Temperature at depth data for deep EGS in Alaska and Hawaii not available. Qualitative classes are based on temperature and depth ranges. Temperature values are not exclusive to any single class and may be located at different depths from one class to the next. Classes express approximate favorability for geothermal resource, with a lower number indicating the possibility of a higher potential value.

Elevation (SRTM-30) Shuttle Radar Topography Mission version 2 © 2000-2006 SRTM Mission SRTM30 plus © 2008 Joseph J. Becker, David T. Sandwell CleanTOPO2 © 2008 Tom Patterson Post-processing and cartography by GeoModel Solar Resolution: 00:00:30 Terrain maps show the elevation above sea level on the land and depth of the ocean and sea bottom. The slope inclination and azimuth are calculated on-the-fly. The map is developed from Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) and SRTM Water Body Dataset (SWBD). The detailed SRTM3 data with grid resolution of 3 arcsec (~90 m at the equator) are available between the latitudes 60N and 50S, which represents the most of the continental parts of the Earth. For regions north from 60N and south from 50S, only the elevation data from GTOPO30 (SRTM30) are available. The original grid resolution of the GTOPO30 dataset is 30 arcsec (~1000 m at the equator). The bathymetry has been created from two different sources: SRTM30 plus dataset and CleanTOPO2 dataset, in which a few inconsitencies of SRTM30 plus are resolved. The fusion of these datasets has been done and the new map of bathymetry has been created. Terrain shading has been derived from GTOPO30 and SRTM-3 data.
