Introduction

Wind farm at Mynydd Clogau, Wales. Transparent areas are where no LiDAR scans are made. If loading the data in an elevation grid object, these areas can easily be void-filled with other sources such as the 50m gridded data from OS Land Form or OS Terrain.

This page holds the links to the various windPRO elevation datasets from the United Kingdom: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The datasets originate from different sources (see section "Coverage" below).
