Large scale climate drivers for wind resource in Southern South America
The relationship between the wind resource in Southern South America (SSA) and the Antarctic Oscillation (AAO) and El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is analyzed in this paper. Daily, monthly, seasonal and annual correlations were calculated between wind speeds at 50 m height derived from MERRA rea...

The relationship between the wind resource in Southern South America (SSA) and the Antarctic Oscillation (AAO) and El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is analyzed in this paper.

Our results shows that the AAO exerts a significant control over wind speeds on inter annual and seasonal timescales. This relation is stronger during spring and summer, with negative correlations over northern Patagonia, the Argentine and Uruguayan Pampas and Paraguay.
