Changes in Surface Wind Speed over North America from CMIP5 Model Projections and Implications for Wind Energy
Figure 1
The climatology of surface wind speed over North America for winter (DJF) from the 20th century historical runs (a) and 21st century RCP 8.5 runs using five CMIP5 models as labeled at the top of each panel. The color scale, in m/s, is shown at bottom. Green and red colors represent lower and higher wind speed.
