- Norwegian Wind Atlas

The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate has
released the Norwegian Wind Atlas. The wind resources along the
2700 km long Norwegian coastline have been simulated with WindSim.
Areas with favourable wind conditions have been localised, in
total an area of more than 7000 square kilometres have been
identified with an average wind speed above 8 m/s. The project
has been undertaken by VECTOR AS, in cooperation with the
Norwegian meteorological institute. See the report:

Ski jumps with wind sails
|
|

The international Ski Federation launches project in co-operation
with Norges Skiforbund. The aim of the project is to create equal
and safe conditions for ski jumpers, also under windy conditions.
A tailor made WindSim module for ski jumps with wind sails will
be developed, see article in Aftenposten 10.03.01 (Norwegian):
