MIDAS Open: UK mean wind data, v202407

The UK mean wind data contain the mean wind speed and direction, and the direction, speed and time of the maximum gust, all during 1 or more hours, ending at the stated time and date. The data were collected by observation stations operated by the Met Office across the UK and transmitted within the following message types: SYNOP, HCM, AWSHRLY, DLY3208, HWNDAUTO and HWND6910. The data spans from 1949 to 2023.

This version supersedes the previous version of this dataset and a change log is available in the archive, and in the linked documentation for this record, detailing the differences between this version and the previous version. The change logs detail new, replaced and removed data. These include the addition of data for calendar year 2023.

For further details on observing practice, including measurement accuracies for the message types, see relevant sections of the MIDAS User Guide linked from this record (e.g. section 3.3 details the wind network in the UK, section 5.5 covers wind measurements in general and section 4 details message type information).

This dataset is part of the Midas-open dataset collection made available by the Met Office under the UK Open Government Licence, containing only UK mainland land surface observations owned or operated by the Met Office. It is a subset of the fuller, restricted Met Office Integrated Data Archive System (MIDAS) Land and Marine Surface Stations dataset, also available through the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis - see the related dataset section on this record.

本英国平均风数据集包含平均风速、平均风向，以及时长不少于1小时、截至指定时刻的最大阵风的风向、风速与发生时间。该数据由英国气象局（Met Office）在英国全境运营的观测站采集，并通过以下报文类型传输：SYNOP、HCM、AWSHRLY、DLY3208、HWNDAUTO及HWND6910。数据时间跨度为1949年至2023年。

本版本已替代该数据集的过往版本，存档及本记录的关联文档中均提供变更日志，用以详述本版本与过往版本的差异。变更日志会列明新增、替换及移除的数据内容，其中包括2023日历年的观测数据补充。
