- <h3>Description</h3> <p>This repository provides a one-year, high-resolution dataset of wind speed over coastal China based on ERA5 reanalysis data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). The data is extracted at 100 meters above ground level, representing conditions relevant for offshore and near-shore wind energy assessment, coastal meteorology, and atmospheric dynamics studies.</p> <p>The primary dataset is stored in NetCDF4 format and includes:</p> <ul> <li> <p><strong>u100</strong>: Zonal (east-west) wind component at 100 m</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>v100</strong>: Meridional (north-south) wind component at 100 m</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Temporal coverage</strong>: 8784 hourly time steps (full calendar year, including leap day)</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Spatial resolution</strong>: 0.25° × 0.25° (~25 km), covering longitudes 100°E to 128°E and latitudes 16°N to 43°N</p> </li> </ul> <h3>Supplementary Data</h3> <p>Two MATLAB <code>.mat</code> files are included to support spatial visualization and regional analysis:</p> <ul> <li> <p><strong><code>World.mat</code></strong>: Contains global coastline data useful for mapping wind vectors relative to geographic features.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong><code>cities.mat</code></strong>: Provides names and GPS coordinates of key coastal cities in China for reference or targeted analysis.</p> </li> </ul> <h3>Potential Use Cases</h3> <ul> <li> <p>Offshore and onshore wind energy site assessment</p> </li> <li> <p>Coastal climate and meteorological studies</p> </li> <li> <p>Educational or training applications in atmospheric sciences</p> </li> </ul>
