Wind Archives for Research, Litigation, and other uses

All wind speed & direction, air temperature, water temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, and wave height data is archived. Our first stations went online April 1987 so some extremely long data sets are available. This data has proved useful in a variety of applications ranging from Oil Spill Management, Search & Rescue, Toxic Plume Crisis Management, Olympic Sailing Teams, America’s Cup Syndicates, Wind Energy, and Wind Damage Suits.

Some of our clients include:
· U.S. Olympic Yachting Committee
· U.S. Department of Defense
· America's Cup Syndicates
· Massachusetts Department of Wind Energy
· National Hurricane Research Center
· Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute
· Applied Science Associates
· Individuals planning boating vacations

The Data Set: The gust, average, lull, and direction for each five minute period, 24 hours a day, are archived; air and water temperature, pressure, RH, and wave height are recorded at half hour intervals. The four most popular ways or utilizing this data are:

· Graphs similar to the Graphs from Yesterday for a specific day/event (see sample below)
· Hourly vectors, both (U, V) and (r, theta), along with standard deviations
· Text (ASCII) output of each five-minute record
· METAR formatted output of five-minute records or hourly vectors

Standards, Resolution, Data Integrity:

· Wind instruments installed and calibrated to 10m standard
· Wind speed in mph, 0.5mph in year 2000 and thereafter
· Wind direction True North to 22.5 degrees with some stations at 1.0 degree resolution
· Air and Water temperature 0.3C
· Barometric Pressure 0.5mb
· Data integrity typically better than 98% (i.e. archive contains 98% of the 8,928 samples/month)
