WIND STRENGHT DESCRIPTION IN THE PROVINCE OF ALMERY.

Abstract

This article studies the wind strength in the province of Almery, using several techniques. It is based on data from 17 weather-stations (from 2000 to 2008). To start, it analyzes wind trend through special techniques, obtaining a range between 341.33 - 409,6 days ( in relationship with the studied period). Secondly it sets a minimum and maximum in the wind strength range (outside the 17 meteor-stations) and so it generates maps of wind (through interpolation space in a GIS) for each of theses ranges. These maps show that in the interior area, corresponding to Tijola-Fiñana-Cortafuego Triangle, the wind strength maximum is 2,5 and 4 m*s-1 and in the same area the wind strength minimum ( 3,7 - 5,2 m*s-1 ) in the highest level: in short this area is an high potential wind power.
