Research system

research system of Meteorological resources

meteorological resources

  • Application

    Provide meteorological resources information → New and renewable energy policy support

  • Observationi/Analysis

    Securing meteorological resource observation → Using basic data to select the location of the power plant

  • Prediction

    Production of mid- and short-term forecast information → Stable development complex operation support

Research purpose

With the recent development and support of the national renewable energy industry, it is increasing that the demand for scientific information on meteorological resources (wind and solar) related to renewable energy sensitive to meteorological and climate changes. Accordingly, the National Institute of Meteorological Sciences is developing diagnostic and predictive information production technologies for wind and solar meteorological resources.
