This document reports on the methods used in phase one of the energy sector management assistance program (ESMAP) wind mapping project for Vietnam. The interim mesoscale modelling results were calculated by output from simulations of the weather, research, and forecasting (WRF) model. The authors document the method used to run the mesoscale simulations and to generalize the WRF model wind climatologies. A preliminary validation is described. A meteorological phenomena of particular interest is the nocturnal low level jet and this is examined in the model output data. Finally recommendations for the next steps in the project are stated. This report is structured as follows: section one gives introduction. Sections two and three describe the general method and the specific modelling setup of the WRF modelling systems used in the generation of the Vietnam phase one output. Section four presents results. In section five a preliminary validation of the interim modelling results against observations is presented. Section six presents an analysis of nocturnal low level jets, which is a wind energy relevant phenomena seen in the WRF simulations. Section seven sets out a number of points of discussion and recommendation for how the modelling will be advanced in the next phase of the project, as well as recommendations for the project in general. Finally, section eight presents some conclusions.
