BLM REA CYR 2013 Wind Power Potential in the Central Yukon

Some of the CYR rasters intentionally do not align or have the same extent. These rasters were not snapped to a common raster per the authors' discretion. Please review selected rasters prior to use. These varying alignments are a result of the use of differing source data sets and all products derived from them. We recommend that users snap or align rasters as best suits their own projects. - Alaska has abundant wind resources available for energy development. Increased costs associated with fossil fue-based generation and improbments in wind power technology make this clean, renewable energy resources attractive to many communities. The quality of a wind resource is key to determining the feasibility of a project and is very site specific so it is critical to measure the wind resouce before starting development. This dataset classifies wind power potential in seven classes, with Class 1 being the weakest and Class 7 the strongest, based on a grid of cells each containing a single value of wind power (W/m^2) density at a hub height of 50 meters for a 40,000 square meter area.
