Paper Abstract
With the data, which were obtained from the SeaWinds scatterometer on board the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) QuikSCAT satellite (12.5km*12.5km available from 1999 to current daily orbit swath), the
China offshore region were studied (105-135° E 15-45° N). Because swath location is not fixed, interpolation was
applied to get a fixed grid with 0.1° resolution. We calculate and analysis China offshore wind resources effective density
of wind energy (EDWE) at 10 meters high above the sea level. And find that EDWE is rich in offshore area. The highest
EDWE is in Taiwan Strait and North and South of the strait, with the EDWE 600-800W/m2, the next highest is East
China Sea and South China Sea. The lowest EDWE is Yellow Sea and Bohai bay, less than 400W/m2. And several other
wind energy resource-rich areas are: 1)the north of Bohai Bay, with wind power density more than 800 w/m2 decline to
the south, 2)the East China Sea area the power density above 400 w/m2 increase to the southward. Guangdong coastal
waters are rich in wind resources energy.
