N2 - The Wind Atlas Analysis and Application Program (WAsP) is
a PC-program for horizontal and vertical extrapolation of
wind data. The program contains a complete set of models to
calculate the effects on the wind of sheltering obstacles,
surface roughness changes and terrain height variations. The
analysis part consists of a transformation of an observed wind
climate (speed and direction distributions) to a wind atlas data
set. The wind atlas data set can subsequently be applied for
estimation of the wind climate and wind power potential, as
well as for siting of specific wind turbines. The WAsP 9 Help
Facility includes a Quick Start Tutorial, a User's Guide and a
Technical Reference. It further includes brief descriptions of
and links to the Observed Wind Climate Wizard, the WAsP
Climate Analyst tool, the WAsP Map Editor tool, the WAsP
Turbine Editor tool, the Air Density Calculator and various
scripting tools.
