The purpose of this study is to establish the estimation method of offshore wind energy resources by combining synthetic aperture radar and mesoscale model. In order to achieve this purpose the followings have been done. The first one is to establish the estimation method of high resolution offshore wind speed field based on synthetic aperture radar with input of relative wind direction calculated from simulated mesoscale model wind direction field. The second one is to make maps of potential offshore wind energy resources at Shirahama and Hiratsuka using the method developed above. Especially the increase of Weibull energy density is found at Shirahama. This may be attributable to atmospheric unstable conditions.
