Vortex BLOCKS - Gridded Time Series and WRG files
FromVORTEX FdC
Vortex BLOCKS is a GIS file, a WRG file, a TAB file, and it is a sub-hourly time series at any grid point. All of them can be obtained by filtering through different variables such as time of day, season, or stability.
Vortex BLOCKS is the natural evolution of FARM. It has the same modeling technology that has been used in hundreds of projects and is extensively validated, but it goes a step beyond.

As BLOCKS is delivering time series in addition to WRG & GIS files. We compute a specific one-year period or a long-term representative. In this case, we simulate a 365 consecutive day period as the most representative of the long term and use the well-tested “rolling one-year” method employed in our LES product.
We have used the knowledge we have gleaned together with new storage solutions. We have added a set of new innovative tools to offer client-customized solutions that adhere to the Vortex philosophy: on-demand and fully automated.
