An anemometer placed by the Northern Arizona University School of Forestry measured an instantaneous wind gust of 185 miles per hour (298 km/h), a 1-second wind gust of 161 miles per hour (259 km/h), and a 3-second wind speed of 115 miles per hour (185 km/h).

In the United States, the wind speed used in design is often referred to as a "3-second gust", which is the highest sustained gust over a 3-second period having a probability of being exceeded per year of 1 in 50 (ASCE 7-05, updated to ASCE 7-16). [18] This design wind speed is accepted by most building codes in the United States and often ...
Kingman Wind Farm, built in 2011, has 10 MW of wind turbines. [12] Perrin Ranch Wind Farm in Coconino County began operation in 2012 with 62 wind turbines, generating 99.2 MW of electricity. [13] Fort Huachuca has an 850 KW two blade wind turbine installed in 2011. [14] Red Horse 2 Wind and Solar Project has 30 MW of wind turbines installed in ...
The log wind profile is generally considered to be a more reliable estimator of mean wind speed than the wind profile power law in the lowest 10–20 m of the planetary boundary layer. Between 20 m and 100 m both methods can produce reasonable predictions of mean wind speed in neutral atmospheric conditions.
Arizona electricity production by type. This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Arizona, sorted by type and name.In 2021, Arizona had a net summer capacity of 27,596 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 109,305 GWh. [2]
The Dry Lake Wind Power Project in Navajo County is the first utility-scale wind farm in the U.S. state of Arizona. Starting in 2009, it was constructed in two phases having a total generating capacity of 128.1 megawatts (MW), and is selling the electricity to the Salt River Power District (SRP).
State Route 83 (SR 83) is a scenic state highway in southern Arizona, stretching from its junction with Interstate 10 near Vail south to Parker Canyon Lake.It passes through sparsely populated areas of Pima, Cochise and Santa Cruz Counties, passing through the wine towns of Sonoita and Elgin.
Wind measuring has been standardized globally to reflect the winds at 10 metres (33 ft) above mean sea level, [nb 1] and the maximum sustained wind represents the highest average wind over either a one-minute (US) or ten-minute time span (see the definition, below), anywhere within the tropical cyclone. Surface winds are highly variable due to ...
