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

Figure 5

A comparison of the 1979–1999 climatology of the -component (a) and -component (b) of the 10 m wind over North America from reanalysis-2 (left), GISS-E2_H historical run (middle) and EC-Earth historical run (right). The color scale, in m/s, is shown at bottom. Red and green indicate positive and negative velocities.
