Dynamical Downscaling of Climate Change Impacts on Wind Energy Resources in the Contiguous United States by Using a Limited-Area Model with Scale-Selective Data Assimilation
Figure 9
Mean wind speed (m s−1) time series for the (a) southeastern US, (b) Rocky Mountains, (c) North Carolina, and (d) Great Plains regions. The average annual wind speed is plotted for current climate (1990–1999) and future climate decades 2040s and 2090s. The black and white points represent yearly mean wind speeds and the red points represent the overall 10-year averages for each decade.
