Global wind map

3TIER, Inc., as part of their REmapping the World Initiative, has developed a 5 km resolution global wind map. To produce the map and dataset, 3TIER implemented an innovative physical-statistical model, and ran the model through a 10-year simulation.

A clickable version of the map, displaying average annual wind speed across the globe, can be used with the RETScreen Wind Energy Project Model and is available to view free-of-charge at:

FirstLook Wind Speed Data

In addition, useful wind maps provided by other organisations are available for use with RETScreen and can be accessed via the link below.
