Derived from the DNV GL Wind Mapping System (WMS) which is based upon the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, a simulation of temperature, pressure and vapor mixing ratio at a horizonal resolution of 2 km. This 2-km resolution wind atlas is based on a complete 10-year simulation (2005-2015).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.

Simulated mean wind speed covering the years 2003-2010 at 100 m a.g.l, measured in m per second. Values reflect orography and surface roughness length as they are represented in the model. 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.

An interannual variability index (IAVI) of wind speed and energy was dervied from the WMS 10-year simulations. Care should be taken when using these data, as a robust estimate requires at least 30 years of reliable reference data. 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.

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.
