The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, operated by Battelle Memorial Institute for the US Department of Energy in Richland, Washington, USA, created an integrated regional wind resource assessment data and atlas, which is available as a computerized data base. This data base is NCDC data set DSI-9793. Approximately 975 station locations in the United States are in the data base. Through the application of various techniques, wind data from these locations were converted into resource assessment estimates of wind power class at exposed sites. The major source of wind data that went into the resource assessments was NCDC data set DSI-1440 (which was later converted to US Global Surface Airways Hourly Observations, DSI-3280, a current NCDC data set). Data are from the early 1900s through 1978. Analyses of each station's data were performed on each period of record, during which the anemometer height, anemometer location, and frequency of observation remained constant. The analyses produced the following tables for approximately 925 stations. Standard information given with each table includes the table number, station name, station WBAN number, period of record, number of valid observations and anemometer height and reference location. TABLE DESCRIPTION 01 Hourly Mean Speed and Frequency by Month 02 Annual Hourly Mean Speed and Frequency 03 Annual Hourly Speed Duration 04 Average Wind Speed and Wind Power (Hour, Month, Season) 05 Maximum Minimum Mean Hourly Wind Speed by Month 06 Average Wind Speed and Power (Month, Year) 07 Standard Deviation of Speed and Power (Month, Year) 08 Wind Speed Pattern Factor (Month, Year) 09 Number of Observations (Month, Year) 10 Significant Weather Parameters and Events by Month 11 Monthly Wind Speed Frequency 12 Joint Wind Speed/Direction Frequency by Month 13 Annual Joint Wind Speed/Direction 14 Annual Joint Wind Power/Direction Frequency 15 Wind Speed Duration by Direction by Month 16 Annual Wind Speed Duration by Direction 17 Annual Wind Power Duration by Direction 18 Wind Speed Persistence Above Speed Threshold 19 Wind Direction Constancy by Direction The wind energy system is designed as an interactive system. The system contains: 1. Annual means and standard deviations of wind speed and wind energy flux, pattern factor, and Weilbull distribution factors (month/year). 2. Mean wind speed and frequency distributions by hour of the day and by direction for each month of the period, including an annual summary. 3. Means of air temperature, pressure, and density, plus occurrences of 13 weather elements (month). 4. Number of runs of various durations in which the wind speed exceeded a threshold speed, or the direction remained constant for the period of record. 5. Computer programs. To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers and the public. completed DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI > National Centers for Environmental Information, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce Customer Engagement Branch 1-828-271-4800 1-828-271-4876 151 Patton Avenue Veach-Baley Federal Building, Room 468 Asheville NC 28801-5001 USA ncei.orders@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov HTTPS Web Browser NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) NCEI home page with information, data access and contact information. information 8:00 - 6:00 Eastern pointOfContact asNeeded Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds > Surface Winds Earth Science > Atmosphere > Altitude > Station Height Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Surface Pressure theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2018 revision Version 8.6 Global Change Data Center, Science and Exploration Directorate, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://earthdata.nasa.gov/about/gcmd/global-change-master-directory-gcmd-keywords HTTPS Web Browser Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.
