Wind energy is a reusable resource of energy thus, is environmentally useful. As reusable, it doesn't give off any type of gas/heat energy harmful to the environment/ the ozone layer, it is considered an eco-friendly source of energy. But, as wind energy requires turbines, and turbines require wind, the wind and air pressure of the area matters as more the wind, more effective the wind energy. Wind energy and other reusable sources are often referred as economically expensive as installing the turbines over large plots of land is expensive and also reduces the area for home building etc, leaving more homeless people.

How do weather observations become climate data
ddd [48]

Explanation:

Observations of Weather are the Foundation of Climate Products 

Cooperative Observers Program (COOP) Stations in the lower 48 states. Image source: COOP 

Around the globe, millions of weather observations are recorded each day, by both human observers and automated instruments. In the United States, daily observations at stations that meet specified criteria, methodically collected by volunteer observers and automated weather stations, are used to document our weather and climate. One volunteer weather observer program in the United States is the Cooperative Observer Program (COOP). This program, which includes more than 11,000 stations, is key to obtaining accurate observations across the country. Started in 1890, the COOP network now spans all corners of our nation: from mountaintops to meadows, urban to rural regions, and from seashores to suburbs.
