The Global Wind Atlas is a free, web-based application developed to help policymakers, planners, and investors identify high-wind areas for wind power generation virtually anywhere in the world, and then perform preliminary calculations.

Worldwide animated weather map, with easy to use layers and precise spot forecast. METAR, TAF and NOTAMs for any airport in the World. SYNOP codes from weather stations and buoys. Forecast models ECMWF, GFS, NAM and NEMS.

3 days ago · The highest zonal winds are around 60–70 metres per second (135–155 miles per hour) at 65–70 km (40–43 miles) above Earth’s surface. The west-wind component is stronger during the winter in the Southern Hemisphere. The axes of the strongest easterly and westerly wind components in the Southern Hemisphere tilt toward the south with ...

The largest three-dimensional web-based interactive browser of satellite, weather, climate, and other publicly available time-aware geospatial data, built upon NASA's revolutionary World Wind technology.

Mar 26, 2025 · Find and download resource map images and data for North America, the contiguous United States, Canada, Mexico, and Central America. View an interactive map or download geospatial data on land-based and offshore wind supply curves.

Explain the major layers of the atmosphere and their importance. Analyze the relationships between energy, temperature, and heat. Describe how the Sun influences seasonality.

Built upon NASA World Wind, NASA World Weather is the first web application to ever display such a broad range of weather and other global spatial data viewed together in 3D.

Dec 14, 2024 · Winds just above the surface layer are often not in steady state, and can temporarily increase to faster than geostrophic (supergeostrophic) in a process called an inertial oscillation (Figs. 18.9b and 18.20). The bottom 20% of the convective (unstable) ABL is called the radix layer (RxL).

Dec 20, 2024 · There you can find out more about the layers and see how we used them to assess wind energy resources for policy and planning, including one example of a wind farm suitability analysis using the Suitability Modeler in ArcGIS Pro. Here’s a short synopsis of what these three new global layers provide.

Jan 14, 2025 · Here are the three layers with their final color schemes: Wind Speed 100 meters around Chengdu and Chongquing, China. Wind Power Density 150 meters in part of the Appalachian Mountains in southwest Virginia, USA. Wind Capacity Factor IEC1 in Europe around the Mediterranean Sea.
