2D wind speed and direction (DP1.00001.001)

Wind plays an important role in atmospheric and environmental sciences. A function of differential heating of Earth’s surface and subsequent pressure gradients, horizontal and vertical winds are responsible for advection of atmospheric pollutants, moisture, heat and momentum (Stull 1988). As such, horizontal and vertical winds will be measured throughout the Observatory. Latency: Data collected in any given month are published during the second full week of the following month.
