The Northern America wind map update released on the ULTRUS™ Windnavigator Resource Data and Maps platform is a significant update to the original map, which dates back 15 years. This new wind map not only delivers more accurate data at higher heights (up to 300 m) but also leverages the latest advancements in wind modeling technology, providing enhanced insights for analyzing and prospecting greenfield sites as well as assessing competing projects.
Key enhancements designed to aid wind developers in making informed decisions include:
Expanded Met Data Coverage
- 2.5 times more observations compared to the original map.
- Incorporation of meteorological data from longer periods and higher measurement heights.
- More representative and spatially diverse data across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Enhanced wind map heights
Wind maps are now available up to 300 m, accommodating taller turbines.
Wind modeling and accuracy
Based on the latest mesoscale modeling and reanalysis datasets.
