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.

Data derived from WRF simulated wind speed for the period from 15/04/2004 to 15/04/2014 at a horizontal resolution of 2 km; Mean wind speed at 10 m agl from 15/04/2004 to 15/04/2014 in [m/s]. This 2-km resolution wind atlas is based on a complete 10-year simulation of the local and regional wind flows. The wind simulation was generated using DNV's GL Wind Mapping System (WMS): a dynamic downscaling system developed to generate high-resolution mesoscale wind maps.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.

Global Horizontal irradiance (GHI) is the total solar radiation received by a surface horizontal to the ground. This value includes both the direct normal irradiance and the diffuse horizontal irradiance, and is of particular interest to photovoltaic installations; these data were created by GeoModel Solar.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.

Global horizontal irradiance (GHI) is the total solar radiation received by a surface horizontal to the ground. This value includes both the direct normal irradiance and the diffuse horizontal irradiance, and is of particular interest to photovoltaic installations. This map was developed by CENER as part of WBG's renewable energy mapping initiative. 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.

Based on the simulated wind speed data at 100m a.g.l., power density data measures W per m2. 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.
