Sector Essential climate variable (ECV)
Description Wind speed, direction and gustiness
Calculation method Title Period Processing Unit Comment
Hourly wind speed Hourly Hourly time series of wind speed computed using U and W components of wind from HARMONIE-AROME m/s  
Hourly wind direction Hourly Wind direction computed using U and W components of wind from HARMONIE-AROME. degrees  
Hourly gustiness Hourly The hourly time series of wind gustiness computed using U and W components of gustiness from HARMONIE-AROME mIs  
Wind speed monthly min Monthly The monthly minimum wind speed m/s  
Wind speed monthly mean Monthly The monthly mean wind speed m/s  
Wind speed monthly max Monthly The monthly maximum wind speed m/s  
Wind speed mearly min  Yearly The yearly minimum wind speed m/s  
Wind speed yearly mean Yearly The yearly mean wind speed m/s  
Wind speed yearly max Yearly The yearly maximum wind speed m/s  
Wind speed mean over period Five years Mean wind speed for the full period m/s  
Provenance Air temperature is computed by HARMONIE-AROME
Validation The simulations made by HARMONIE-AROME in Urban SIS has been validated against observations in Urban SIS deliverable 5.1, where an overview is given in Table 4. For wind a more extensive analysis have been made in section 4.4
