Wind
A 50 meter meterological tower on the Taconic Ridge has been measuring wind speeds, wind direction,
and temperature since November 2004. The wind tower currently calls in data every hour.
The most recent data is from the ten minute period up to and including
May 13, 03:50 AM, Eastern Standard Time
(not Eastern Daylight Time)
The average wind speed at 50 m was
6.5 m/s
At that wind speed, a 1.5 megawatt wind turbine built by GE would produce approximately
528 kilowatts of electricity
The average wind direction at 50 m was
73 degrees.
(North = 0, East = 90, South = 180, West = 270)

(North = 0, East = 90, South = 180, West = 270)
How much electricity would have been generated between these dates?
