Global Wind Atlas

The Global Wind Atlas is like a super-smart computer map that shows us where the wind is strongest all over the world. It's made by clever scientists who want to help us use the wind to make electricity. Think of it as a special tool that helps people find the best places to build windmills, which are like giant pinwheels that catch the wind and turn it into power for our homes and schools.

It's a way to see the invisible power of the wind!

This amazing wind map wasn't always here! Scientists worked hard for a long time to create it. They used lots of information about the weather from many years ago.

Then, they used powerful computers to guess where the wind blows the hardest. It's like they're detectives, solving the mystery of the wind! They keep updating it with new information so it's always the best and most helpful map possible for finding windy places.

Using the wind to make electricity is really important because it's a clean way to power our world. It doesn't make the air dirty like some other ways of making power. The Global Wind Atlas helps us find windy spots so we can build more windmills.

This means we can have lots of clean energy for everyone, which is great for our planet! It helps us be kinder to the Earth and keep it healthy for all the animals and people.

On this special map, you can see how fast the wind is blowing and how much power it has. It shows this information for different heights, even way up high where the wind is strongest! The map is super detailed, showing tiny areas that are 250 meters wide, which is about the length of two and a half soccer fields. This helps people decide exactly where to put their windmills for the most power.
