We’ve marveled at this mesmerizing map of cargo ships plying the oceans of the worlds, been amazed by another depicting the birth of major cities over thousands of years, and charmed by this one ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) requires Contractor support services to provide wind field modeling, mapping, and related analysis in support NIST's recently initiated ...

Modellers have devised a map that could guide the positioning of wind turbines. It shows wind speeds 80 metres above the ground,which is the right height to turn most turbines' blades and generate ...

Predicting the weather is a science, but it’s not a perfect science. Wind, in particular, is hard to nail down. Truly reliable predictions extend just days in advance---weeks, at most. Foretelling ...

The current wind speed maps are based on new uniform recurrence interval wind speed contours developed by wind researchers. But the ASCE 7 standard also carries new factors to use with the new maps, ...

Winter storm Jonas brought with it record-breaking amounts of snow and blustering winds when it plowed through the northeastern and mid-Atlantic United States in late January. Now, scientists at NASA ...

A new global wind power map has quantified global wind power and may help planners place turbines in locations that can maximize power from the winds and provide widely available low-cost energy.

Hurricane Rafael appears to have veered to the west after making landfall in Cuba as a Category 3 storm, marking the fifth ...

A model for using wind speed data to predict Pattern Energy power generation is proposed. Results were backtested with 3 years of data and show reasonable agreement between projections and actual data ...

Rovers and landers on Mars can measure wind speed only where they are located — they cannot check winds across the whole ...

This animated interactive map shows one scenario for how the varying wind speeds of Hurricane Irma could affect the state of Florida. Although the storm is expected to make landfall somewhere in ...

With more than 50,000 wind turbines in place across the U.S., wind power now accounts for 8 percent of the nation's energy-generating capacity — and experts predict that figure could rise to 20 ...
