AnemoScope provides a fully integrated solution, combining state-of-the-art mesoscale and microscale wind models with advanced visualization, pre/post processing, and analysis on your PC.

AnemoScope allows users to target the ideal locations to install wind turbines by providing the science and technology to perform pinpoint wind-energy studies. By letting you incorporate your own localized terrain and land-use data, AnemoScope, provides you with greater control over your wind energy prospecting.

Unlike older-generation tools, AnemoScope uses two advanced meteorological models—Environment Canada's MC2 and MS-Micro—to calculate and predict wind flow patterns over a given landscape.

AnemoScope's microscale wind energy maps let you determine the ideal location for wind turbines with an amazing degree of precision, using your own local-scale terrain data.

Highly Accurate

Because AnemoScope uses the same atmospheric model as the Meteorological Service of Canada, created by weather experts specializing in the effects of wind, temperature, and rain, it ensures the best possible accuracy in wind pattern prediction.

Highly Efficient

The MC2 model is known worldwide for its computational efficiency. In fact, MC2 is considered the fastest computerized atmospheric model available today. Experiments performed on the Japanese Earth Simulator, one of the world's most powerful supercomputers, have used MC2 for hurricane simulations.

Combines Two Respected Technologies

AnemoScope combines Environment Canada's WEST (Wind Energy Simulation Toolkit) System with the Canadian Hydraulics Centre's powerful EnSim simulation environment, making their potent capabilities available to a wide range of users on a Windows-based desktop platform for the first time. WEST was used to create Canada's National Wind Energy Atlas.

Distributed Computing

AnemoScope uses state-of-the-art distributed computing technology to turn your computer network into a virtual scientific modelling supercomputer. AnemoScope integrates an entire suite of wind simulation programs into a single Windows-based application, letting you perform wind energy studies for any region on Earth

For a modest investment, Canadian wind consulting companies can provide quick and efficient wind analysis, thanks to AnemoScope. Putting the right wind farms in the right places through wider access to wind-mapping software allows an optimization of Canada's increased investment in our Wind Power Production Incentive.
