Summary
This is a 16-class categorical raster that displays the intersection of multi-year mean capacity factors (CF) for wind (from the work by Blair et al. 2016 and Maclaurin et al. 2019) and the greater sage grouse breeding habitat probability raster (Doherty 2016). We have divided each probability into quartiles, and then intersected those two 4-class rasters to create a new raster that classifies most areas in the intermountain west into joined wind system development and greater sage grouse breeding habitat probability (<25, 25-50, 50-75, and >75% for both; 16 classes). For more information and further renewable data, please visit https://maps.nrel.gov/. The purpose of this dataset is to represent the matrix of wind mean capacity factors [...]

The purpose of this dataset is to represent the matrix of wind mean capacity factors and greater sage grouse habitat in the Intermountain West of the United States. This dataset was developed to support use of this layer in Smart Energy web tools.
