Esri is happy to announce the addition of the Global Wind Atlas to ArcGIS Living Atlas. These exciting new multidimensional imagery layers put wind potential on the map – for anyone to use – and are the result of a partnership between the Department of Wind Energy at the Technical University of Denmark  (DTU Wind Energy) and the World Bank Group, with the objective of “helping policymakers, planners, and investors identify high-wind areas for wind power generation virtually anywhere in the world.” Read more about the layers and how to access them in this blog.

These new layers are useful in myriad applications…too many to cover in a short blog, so please visit the Explore the Global Wind Atlas StoryMap by @CraigMcCabe for more detailed information about how to use and explore the dataset. You can also explore how the color scheme was designed by @EmilyMeriam1 in this insightful blog.
