This report summarizes in the first three sections the procedure that has been followed within the first twelve months of the NEWA project in order to outline the final product of the project, a New European Wind Atlas data base.For this, potential future users of the New European Wind Atlas were invited to take part in a questionnaire on stakeholders’ expectations to a new wind atlas data base for Europe. It turned out that the stakeholders were especially interested in long-term time series data from meso-scale simulations (the length of the period covered by the wind atlas expected by the stakeholders is about 25 years, the temporal resolution expected by the stakeholders is about 10 minutes and the spatial resolution expected by the stakeholders is about 1 km) as well as in a well-documented methodology that allows for a further downscaling of the meso-scale time series to a target site with a micro-scale model. Moreover, the participants of the questionnaire were especially interested in information on extreme values and on detailed guidelines how the data provided in the wind atlas data base can actually be used. On the other hand, there was interest but at a slightly lower level also in additional statistical data. The stakeholder expectations were summarized to a preliminary list of NEWA output parameters.In a second step, the results of the questionnaire were presented for discussion within the consortium in order to adapt the full amount of stakeholders’ expectations to a technically feasible amount taking into account the limited real and computing time that will be available to derive the wind atlas data base and the limited disk space that will be available to host the data base. This step included presentations on several workshops of the project as well as a second, but this time project internal survey.The resulting, preliminary suggestions for the contents of the New European Wind Atlas are documented in detail in this report. They were presented for a final discussion at the NEWA WP 3 workshop in Barcelona in September 2016, being the basis for the final list of suggested NEWA output parameters and the conclusion of Task 4.1 of the project.
