A map of the forest heights for Denmark – derived from a dataset developed by the Danish University of Copenhagen – Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management – is now available as an online data service for users of windPRO 3.3+. If you are working at forested sites in Denmark, then you can use […]
Two high-quality digital elevation models (DTM’s) in 5m and 20m resolution and covering the German state of Brandenburg have now been added to the online-services of windPRO 3.3. These elevation models are adapted versions of higher resolution models obtained by aerial surveys with data source from Landesvermessung und Geobasisinformation Brandenburg (LGB). Read more at our […]
Now windPRO users developing wind farms in Latvia have easy access to a comprehensive package with very high-resolution Latvian national geodata. The data is available through the online-data services in windPRO 3.3+ and includes national elevation model (20m resolution) and forest height data (5m resolution, currently with spatial coverage of about half of Latvia). Topographic […]
windPRO users developing wind farms in Finland are now able to access a comprehensive package with very high-resolution Finnish national geodata. The data is easily reached through the online-data services in windPRO 3.2+. Available data includes full Finnish coverage of: The national elevation model (10m resolution), forest height data (16m resolution) and existing wind turbine […]
On request from windPRO users working on offshore wind farm developments around the globe, the online-data services in windPRO 3.2+ now offers two bathymetry models: One with Pan-European coverage and grid resolution 230m; the other with global coverage and at a coarser 1km grid-resolution. Water depth data are accessed from the elevation-grid object – with […]
To the attention of windPRO online-data user EMCWF has notified us of an issue with the preliminary ERA5T data from July to October 2024. For the second time since late 2019, the final validated ERA5 data will differ from the preliminary ERA5T data. The issue is caused by non-representative snow depth observations over the Alps […]
windPRO now includes an option to run WakeBlaster, a new wake model. WakeBlaster is a numerical solver of the 3-dimensional Reynolds averaged Navier Stokes equations, specialized in wind turbine wakes. But what is new? No more superposition: Instead of modelling single turbine wakes and superimposing them empirically, WakeBlaster models the whole waked wind field in […]
The ”Near-Global Forest Canopy Heights GLAD” dataset is developed from a fusion of GEDI lidar data (Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation Lidar) and Landsat imagery data. It has a near-global spatial coverage ranging from latitudes S52.0 to N52.0, and it reflects the 95% relative height of the canopy with a 25m ground area footprint. The GEDI […]
