Changes in Surface Wind Speed over North America from CMIP5 Model Projections and Implications for Wind Energy

Figure 4

A comparison of the 1979–1999 climatology of the surface wind speed from NCEP-DOE reanalysis-2 (a) and the historical runs with two models (b) GISS-E2-H and (c) EC-Earth in CMIP5. The color scale, in m/s, is shown at bottom with red color indicating high wind speed.
