WMS Wind Resource of the Canary Islands

Description

WMS of the Canary Islands Wind Resource that has been prepared by the Instituto Tecnológico de Canarias (ITC) and describes the main characteristics of the existing wind (speed, direction and other parameters) for specific coordinates of points of the Canary archipelago. The study points are integrated into a 100 m resolution mesh, both in the North-South and East-West directions. The information for each point is detailed in a line that describes the most likely wind behavior at that point, and sorted by the respective UTM coordinates. The information is only estimative, since wind data have not been measured, but calculated. From a simulation based on the use of models, maps of average wind speeds, speed distribution curve, wind roses and turbulence intensity at 40, 60 and 80 m high have been created for the Canary archipelago. This group therefore has the following layers: Wind roses, turbulence intensity, wind resource or average wind speed and rugosity or influence of obstacles and terrain contours on the wind. Date of data: year 2007.
