摘要
An analysis of wind data for the ten-year period 1979-1988 in Nigeria is presented. Surface and upper winds were considered as well as maximum gusts. The need for the provision of new data stations in order to enable a complete and reliable assessment of the overall wind power potential of the country is identified and specific locations suggested. Socioeconomic and political factors affecting the development of wind energy development in Nigeria are also discussed.
