Map layer average wind speed 200m, 1981-2010 in North Rhine-Westphalia

The map shows the mean wind speed at a height of 200 m above ground. This was modeled across NRW with a resolution of 100 x 100 m and validated with the yields of existing wind turbines in NRW. The mean wind speed is an average of the wind speeds occurring over the year. The average wind speed gives an indication of how suitable a location is for wind energy use.
