Global wind droughts

This repository contains postprocessed results that are part of the paper "Identification of reliable locations for wind power generation through a global analysis of wind droughts" published in Communications Earth & Environment.

The results are provided on a latitude-longitude grid, except where specified, and include:

mean wind speed,

annual mean wind speed,

mean wind power density,

annual mean wind power density,

minumum annual mean wind power density,

energy deficits for seasonal variability,

energy deficits for weather variability,

energy deficits for wind droughts,

wind speed time series at Lat 53.00 Lon 3.00.

Code and instructions required to reproduce these results are available in the GitHub repository at https://github.com/eantonini/Global_wind_droughts.
