Wind Maps for California [RE-wrenches]

[David Blittersdorf]

Yes, the wind increases with height above the ground. These are estimates of the 
windspeeds based on the assumed wind shear that is expected. I consider 30m to be 
the minimum height for good wind energy. Wind turbines mounted at 10m generally do 
not work and if they do have very low energy production and much shorter life due to 
turbulence.
