Due to the different temperature changes and water vapor content in the air after being irradiated by the sun at various locations on the ground, differences in air pressure are caused, and high-pressure air flows horizontally towards low-pressure areas, forming wind. Wind energy resources are determined by wind energy density and the annual cumulative hours of available wind energy. This dataset mainly serves the exploration and preliminary wind energy resource assessment stage of wind power development, which is the stage where meteorological observation stations have not yet been established on site. It is also a powerful tool to help the government fully understand the potential of wind energy resources in various regions.
