3TIER has announced it has expanded the geographical coverage of its FirstLook Assessment Reports, which provide detailed estimates of wind resources for potential wind energy development locations, to include Western and Eastern Europe, much of Asia, and the Pacific Rim.
Data for the expanded regions were derived using an innovative physical-statistical model, run through a 10-year simulation across the world’s landmass at a 5 km resolution. Data for the expanded regions has been validated to the same standard of accuracy established for the previously available reports for the United States, Canada and Mexico.
