Azura-Edo Independent Power Plant Environmental Impact ... - IFC

from Bohicon, Lagos, Cotonou and Lome stations demonstrated a relatively
small amount of regional variation, providing confidence that the choice of
meteorology is unlikely to be a critical factor in the assessment. The model
used data for the years 1989, 1990, 1994, 1997 and 1998, which represent the
most complete years available. That the years are non-sequential is not
considered a limitation.
The wind roses produced from this meteorological data set (Figure 1.1)I
identify that the prevailing wind direction is predominantly from the
southwest for all years assessed. With the prevailing wind direction being
almost exclusively from the southwest, air quality impacts from the Project
will therefore be predominantly experienced to the northeast of the Project site
for both short term and annual average concentrations.
