GASP Global
Introduction
GASP Global is "GASP 1.0 - Global of Atlas of Siting Parameters", with the following key features:
- Global 250m wind resources, siting parameters & turbine design class
- Builds on GWA3.0 and other sources
- A joint project by EMD and DTU
Dataset Overview

- Resolution:
- Horizontal: 250m between data nodes
- Vertical: 50m, 100m and 150m as vertical levels
- Data-type: Atlas
- Coordinate system: Geographical coordinates (EPSG: 4326) in original data
- Version: 1.0

Parameters
A very wide range of omnidirectional and sectorwise parameters are available from the Global Atlas of Siting Parameters (GASP) - including wind resources, extremes, siting parameters and turbine design classes. The tables below provides an overview of all parameters available and at which dimensions that they are available.
Dimensions
The following dimensions are used within the GASP parameters: The first four (longitude, latitude, height and sector) are used for the basic paraters; the last three (ws_class, iec_class and turbine_component) are used for the turbine design classification - and are releated to the IEC61400-1 code and the aeroelastic load model.Please note that not all dimensions are relevant or used for every GASP parameter.
| Dimension | Abbreviation | Unit | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| longitude | lon | deg | 180 to -180 |
| latitude | lat | deg | 90 to -90 |
| height | h | m | 50,100,150 |
| sector | s | deg | 0,30,...,330 |
| ws_class | wcl | I,II,III,T | |
| iec_class | iecc | IA+, IA,...IIIC | |
| turbine_component | tc | 0,1,2,3 |
Wind Resource Parameters
| Variable | Description | Unit | Dimensions |
|---|---|---|---|
| weib_A | Wind distribution: A (Scale) parameter in Weibull distribution | m/s | lon, lat, h |
| weib_k | Wind distribution: k (shape) parameter in Weibull distribution | lon, lat, h | |
| wsp | Wind speed - annual average | m/s | lon, lat, h |
| wpd | Wind power density – annual average | W/m2 | lon, lat, h |
| air_dens | Air density (annual mean/average) | kg/m3 | lon, lat, h |
