Scientists have studied the potential for wind power to serve as a major source of energy in a wide variety of locations worldwide, including the Pacific Northwest region of North America (Cross et al., 2015), China (Gao et al., 2015), and Australia (Hallgren et al., 2014). However, these studies do not all use the same units of measurement. For instance, as Hallgren et al. point out, “the physical quantity conventionally used to describe the wind energy potential in Australia is wind speed in m/s, whereas in the USA, wind atlases show maps of wind power density (WPD) to describe the quality of the wind resource” (2014). This disparity in approaches to measurement can make it difficult to compare study results.

Plagiarism is present in the passage (there is language taken directly from a source that is not in quotation marks, and/or ideas that are not original to the passage author and not common knowledge are not credited, via some sort of citation – even an incorrectly-formatted, incomplete, and/or badly-placed citation – to a source).
B.There are problems with boundary-marking in the passage (it is hard to tell exactly where cited information from one or more sources begins and/or ends; information that needs to be cited is placed outside the apparent boundaries of cited material; and/or the passage author’s own ideas or analysis fall inside the apparent boundaries of cited material).
C.Citations are incomplete (required elements are missing from an in-text citation – whether from a signal phrase, a parenthetical citation, or both– and/or from a bibliography entry, and/or a necessary bibliography entry is missing entirely).
D. There are no problems with plagiarism, boundary-marking, or completeness in the passage.
As Cross et al. (2015) note, both Washington and Oregon have large installed wind power capacity (p. 3). Earlier studies have found that both states are also experiencing increasing wind speeds, almost exclusively due to a strengthening of the zonal, westerly wind component. Possibly as a result, data gathered from the two states exhibited widespread positive anomalies (Cross et al., pp. 11, 15).
