U.S. Gulf of Mexico Coast Offshore Windspeed 90m Height High Resolution

In curation License 

This dataset is a geographic shapefile generated from the original raster data. The original raster data resolution is a 200-meter cell size. The data provide an estimate of annual average wind speed at 90 meter height above surface for specific offshore regions of the United States. To learn more, please see the [Assessment of Offshore Wind Energy Resources for the United States](http://nrelpubs.nrel.gov/WebtopSecure/ws/nich/int/nrel/Record?rpp=25&upp=0&m=3&w=NATIVE%28%27AUTHOR+ph+words+%27%27Heimiller%27%27%27%29&order=native%28%27pubyear%2FDescend%27%29 "NREL Publication").

These data were produced in cooperation with U.S. Department of Energy, and have been validated by NREL. To download state wind resource maps, visit [Wind Powering America](http://www.windpoweringamerica.gov/windmaps/offshore.asp).
