Abstract Australian Meso-scale Limited Area Prediction System (MesoLAPSPT _125), using data from the years between 2004 to 2008. Mean wind speed (km/h), 2004-2008 with approx. 12.5km spatial resolution. From Australian Bureau of Meteorology http://www.bom.gov.au/jsp/ncc/climate_averages/wind-velocity/index.jsp The resolution of the data are 0.125 degrees (approximately 12.5 km). The model’s 10 metre zonal (u) and meridional (v) wind components at 00 UTC was used in deriving the grids.
