Average Modelled Wind Speeds (m/s) for Victoria

dataset: WIND_SPEED
The wind resource has been mapped on a 3 km x 3 km grid across Victoria. Average annual wind speeds have been modelled using the WindScape wind resource mapping tool that was developed by the Wind Energy Research Unit of CSIRO Land and Water in 2002. WindScape uses atmospheric data, and regional topography to model the wind resource at 65 metres above ground level to a resolution of 3 kilometres. The resolution of the modelled wind resource means that it does not incorporate the effects of local landscape features smaller than 3 kilometres in size, like small hills and ridges. This dataset is derived from the same data used to create the overview map of the Victorian wind atlas published by the Sustainable Energy Authority Victoria, c2003

Description
Converted from mapinfo provided by the Sustainable Energy Authority? The data was used in the production of the Victorian Wind Atlas 2003. 
Statement
Dataset Source: CSIRO Wind Energy Research Unit. WindScapeTM uses data and modelling from global - and continental - scale climate models, as well as fine-scale calculations for wind speed near large individual landscape features such as ranges and large plains.
