The research activities in FY81 on the Regional Wind Energy Assessment Program includes work completed in large area wind power prospecting and in data collection and analysis. The area of wind data analysis is based on a wind data network consisting of 80 sites through the Pacific northwest, and it includes climatological analysis, wind statistics at the hourly data acquisition sites, analysis of data from the other sites, gust factor analysis, and wind shear analysis. Appended are numerous wind data summaries. (LEW)
