In Japan, flat sites suitable for wind power generation are limited, and high accuracy of the wind resource assessment in the mountain area is needed for the feasibility of power generation projects. In the mountain area, it is necessary to consider the complexity of the land cover as well as that of the topography. With the progress of satellite observation technology in recent years, it is becoming possible to measure the elevation that contains information of the land cover height for all over the world at high resolution. In this study, the estimation method of the height of surface covering based on the satellite data called AW3D30 is examined and the simple examples applied to numerical analysis is shown.
