A wind atlas contains data on the wind speed and wind direction in a region. [1] These data include maps , but also time series or frequency distributions . A climatological wind atlas covers hourly averages at a standard height (10 meters) over even longer periods (30 years) but depending on the application there are variations in averaging ...
The Global Wind Atlas is a web-based application developed to help policymakers and investors identify potential high-wind areas for wind power generation virtually anywhere in the world, and perform preliminary calculations. It provides free access to data on wind power density and wind speed at multiple heights using the latest historical ...
A small wind turbine in Primrose, Alaska. Wind power in Alaska has the potential to provide all of the electricity used in the U.S. state of Alaska.From its installation, in July 2009 through October 2012, the Pillar Mountain Wind 4.5 MW wind farm has saved the use of nearly 3,000,000 US gallons (11,000,000 L) of diesel fuel in Kodiak, Alaska.
Windy is a Czech company providing interactive weather forecasting services worldwide. The portal was founded by Ivo Lukačovič in November 2014, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] initially focusing on wind animation. It has since expanded to include various essential meteorological parameters, such as temperature , pressure , relative humidity , cloud base, and ...
Wind speeds can vary considerably across a wind farm site if the terrain is complex (hilly) or there are changes in roughness (the height of vegetation or buildings). Wind flow modeling software, based on either the traditional WAsP linear approach or the newer CFD approach, is used to calculate these variations in wind speed. Energy production ...

The station model uses a wind barb to show both wind direction and speed. The wind barb shows the speed using "flags" on the end. Each half of a flag depicts 5 kn (9.3 km/h; 5.8 mph) Each full flag depicts 10 kn (19 km/h; 12 mph) Each pennant (filled triangle) depicts 50 kn (93 km/h; 58 mph) [4]
