NCDC TD6421 Enhanced Hourly Wind Station Data for the Contiguous United States

ds471.0
| DOI: 10.5065/9P2V-4829
 
Abstract:

A homogeneous time series of wind speed at the 10-meter height above the ground/surface for the entire period of digital record (usually, since 1948 for the First Order Stations, since early 1970s for other sites with complete metadata, and since the ASOS implementation at the sites without metadata). Includes elevation homogenization of the near-surface wind time series based on anemometer elevations changes for all stations.

1931-01 to 2000-12

Ground or water surface

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
