Abstract
The atlas represents the first part of an evaluation of potential wind energy in relation to the whole of Algeria. It contains wind statistics from 37 meteorological stations pertaining to the principle network of observation of the National Office of Meteorology. The method used is based on that of the European Atlas, the WASP model. The publication contains an explanation of the utilized classification of terrestrial ruggedness, of the effects of obstacles on wind velocity and a more detailed description of geostrophic wind and other theories on which the investigation is based, in addition to a description of the analytic models and their application in this case. The results of the investigation are in the form of tables and graphs. In the case of each meteorological station the longtitude, latitude, altitude, the height of the anemometer, the given classification number for the ruggedness of the surface area, and the regional wind climate obtained by applying the described model are given in addition to the average wind velocity and regional wind resources. Measurements were taken during periods ranging from ca. 7 to 9 years. (AB).
