Our standard data processing

The spatial aggregation is performed by using a downscaling procedure with a resolution of 1km x 1km, the temporal aggregation is based on hourly or daily mean values. Influencing factors, such as thermal stratification of the atmosphere or roughness length in relation to land use and orography, are individually calculated for each region. The forecast accuracy is improved by statistical correction methods. On request, relative power data can be included in and displayed as chart.
