The new 2022 version is of higher quality and has fewer clouds compared to the 2018 version. You can add it as a background […]
ERA5(T) in windPRO is a globally comprehensive reference wind dataset with minimal lag in time. Traditional reference datasets, such as ERA5, MERRA2 or ERA-Interim, are available with a lag to real-time of one to three months, which typically results in compromising the data quality and delaying decision making up to months. With the release of […]
