[11.07.05] New and updated scripts uploaded
An updated utility script, Turbine site vertical profile.was, as well as a new reporting script, Detailed wind atlas report (HTML).was, have been uploaded.

[05.07.05] Updated version of the LIB Interpolator LT uploaded
A new version of the LIB Interpolator LT program – which estimates an artificial WASP wind atlas data set by spatial interpolation between three existing, geo-referenced wind atlas data sets – have been uploaded. Basic functionality and calculational procedures have not been changed; this is merely an 'administrative' update.

[09.05.05] Update 'B' to the WAsP Utility Programs uploaded
Updates to the programs UTM.exe, LIB2TXT.exe and TAB2DAT.exe, as well as the document Installation.pdf, have been uploaded on the WAsP Utility Programs download page. This is a cumulative update, so update 'A' is now obsolete.

The purpose of this script is to do all the calculations in an open WAsP workspace, i.e. recalculate each and every project.

[08.03.05] Using SRTM data with WAsP
Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) elevation data have recently become available for all land areas between 57°S and 60°N. These data can be used to establish height contour maps for the WAsP flow model, though some editing may still be required. However, the time needed for establishing maps for WAsP can be reduced significantly.

[04.03.05] Updated version of the LIB Interpolator LT released
A new version of the LIB Interpolator LT program – which estimates an artificial WASP wind atlas data set by spatial interpolation between three existing, geo-referenced wind atlas data sets – have been uploaded.

[03.03.05] New Geo-Projection Transformer released
The purpose of the Geo-Projection Transformer program is to transform site location coordinates from one map projection to another. The program can transform a single point or a list of points (up to 100 in the present version) and about 150 different datums are available. This is a W98/Me/NT4/2000/XP utility program.

[25.02.05] New version of LIB Interpolator LT released
The WAsP Utility Programs are in the process of being updated. A new version of the LIB Interpolator LT program – which estimates an artificial WASP wind atlas data set by spatial interpolation between three existing, geo-referenced wind atlas data sets – have been uploaded.
