As we notified earlier, the preliminary ERA5T data from a 3-month period ranging from Sep-Nov 2021 (and probably also part of December) will differ from the final, validated ERA5 data. Now, final and validated ERA5 data for additional months of Oct-Nov 2021 have been made available in windPRO and EMD-API. Based on the newly available […]
EMD has evaluated the annual tree-growth using the recent Finnish LUKE data from 2021 comparing it to 2015 data. As seen from graph below, average tree growth is positive for trees with a height to about 15m, then it becomes negative (on average) due to tree-felling and active forestry. Only areas marked with “Forest” as […]
Updated 2019 forest height data for Finland – derived from the recent LUKE “Multi-source National Forest Inventory Raster Maps of 2019” (released in 2021) – is now available as an online data service for users of windPRO 3.5. If you are working at forested sites, then within Finland, you can use these forest height data […]
As of today, windPRO users working with offshore wind farms now have free access to updated versions of the GEBCO (Global) and EMODnet (European) bathymetry datasets. Within the 2020-version of the European EMODnet bathymetry the number of contributing surveys has almost doubled from 9400 to 16360. Likewise, the GEBCO 2021 bathymetry data is also updated […]
This month, 5m and 25m grid-resolution digital terrain models (DTM’s) or MNT’s (Modèle Numérique de Terrain) for France and its overseas territories were released with windPRO. The 5m and 25m are supplementing the 75m grid resolution dataset previously available for mainland France – and they complete the excellent windPRO geopackage now available for wind-farm development […]
Two additional LiDAR based elevation digital terrain models (DTMs) have been released within Great Britain, which means that by now Wales, Scotland and England are all partly covered by high-resolution, high-quality elevation data in windPRO. These two new datasets come in grid-resolutions of 5m (Scotland) and 10m (England). This data-release is part of a larger […]
