you know, I actually opened it from your post above... but this is the time when I open lots of links received during the day (so much is censored at work, it's a pain - the company uses WebSense and they've tightened their criteria: for instance the website for EWEC2010 is impossible to access right now from work...) and re-dispatch them around, and post them here...

Notice how the variability decreases after the first few years.  Could that be because the interpretation of the statistics got better, even as measurement technology improved?  Could it be that the resource was systematically overestimated in the early stages, as it is in every market?

Tune in next week for a post from my chief, who wrote the book on German wind statistics.  (well, probably not.)

By the way, there is a very cool wind measurement device available for the iphone, taking background sound levels on the mic.  accuracy somewhat included, but it is very cool.
