This wind resource map of Southeast Asia was created
for the World Bank by TrueWind Solutions using MesoMap,
a mesoscale atmospheric simulation system. Although the
map is believed to present an accurate overall picture of wind
resources in Southeast Asia, resource estimates for any
particular location should be confirmed by measurement.
