Wind Atlas Development

Wind Atlas Development

Wind atlases provide energy resources maps containing information on wind speeds and related variables at multiple heights above sea level for (offshore) areas of interest (AOIs). Examples include:

An interactive wind atlas prototype has been developed, involving scalable processing of the EOOffshore catalog as described in the Offshore Wind in Irish Areas Of Interest and Comparison of Offshore Wind Speed Extrapolation and Power Density Estimation notebooks. The current implementation operates on the EOOffshore MÉRA data set to demonstrate processing of high spatial resolution data. However, any of the EOOffshore catalog entries may also be used.
