Abstract: |
These data depict the predicted mean annual wind speed in meters per second at 100 meters elevation above sea level. The source data is from 2007 through 2013, and is based on a 2 km sample resolution. The source data was generalized and transformed into a polygon format for planning purposes. |
Purpose: |
To support ocean planning activities pursuant to the Executive Order Regarding the Ocean Policy to Advance the Economic, Security, and Environmental Interests of the United States, the Energy Policy Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Rivers and Harbors Act, and the Coastal Zone Management Act. |
