EMD-Global Wind Data (based on ERA-Interim)
EMD International offers access to the ERA Data set, either through time series in WindPRO, or as a dataset to the MesoMap online service.
Resolution and Coverage
The model grid is 0.702 degree latitude and 0.703 degree longitude.
It holds 4 daily values in a period from 1979 until present.
Coverage is global.
Required modules/licenses
To access the ERA time series data the following licenses/modules are required in your WindPRO setup:
- Basis
- METEO
- MCP
Downloading of data is unrestricted for licenced users, however a "fair use" policy applies.
