3 St. John s Wind Statistics Wind The majority of wind measurements are made by anemometers installed at ten metres above the ground. substantial minority of sites have instruments installed at other heights, usually greater than ten metres. Wind in the first ten's of metres above the ground tends to increase in speed and veer with height. Winds are normally measured at level, open sites removed as much as possible from obstacles to wind flow such as trees, buildings, or hills. t the majority of principal stations, wind is measured by taking a one- or (since 1985) two-minute mean at each observation, from a U2 anemometer. t other wind-measuring sites, values are usually obtained from autographic records of U2 or 45 anemometers. veraging periods may vary from one minute to an hour. Winds measured by U2's are recorded to the nearest ten degrees, while those from the 45 provide them to eight points of the compass. The extreme gust speed is the instantaneous peak wind observed from the anemometer dials, or abstracted from a continuous chart recording. Where directions were measured more precisely than eight points, they have been converted to this format. The direction is defined as that from which the wind blows. T Statistics listed below are provided as a guide to determine the validity of normals and extremes calculations. or example, a station with 30 years of record between 1971 and 2000 with no missing years would be a more reliable normal than a station with 15 years of record and 2 missing years. Less than 100% possible observations indicates that out of the total number of observations used, some records were missing. alculation Information for 1971 to 2000 anadian Normals ata Station Name: ST JOHN'S Province: NL Latitude (dd mm): N ountry: N Longitude (ddd mm): W Time Zone: NTZ Latitude (decimal degrees): limate Id: Longitude (decimal degrees): WMO Id: levation (m): T Id: YYT Station Status: ctive PROJT TITL WIN NINRIN RSRH LORTORY RWIN TITL TIL MTOR T WIN for St. John's rea Jan eb Mar pr May Jun Jul ug Sep Oct Nov ec Year aily verage ( ) HKS Speed (km/h) Most requent irection W W SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW W W SW Maximum Hourly Speed ate (yyyy/dd) 1977/ / / / / / / / / / / /10+ Maximum ust Speed ate (yyyy/dd) 1977/ / / / / / / / / / / /20 irection of Maximum ust SW SW NW SW N N S SW S NW SW S NW ays with Winds >= 52 km/hr ays with Winds >= 63 km/hr PROJT NO.
