      <abstract>
        Climatic Wind Data for the United States is a
summary report produced by, and available from, the National Climatic Data
Center (NCDC). Wind data in this summary were extracted from the NCDC&apos;s
Edited Local Climatological Data publication (C00128), Air Force and Navy
climatic briefs, and other sources. The total period of this summary is 1930-
1996, though the period of record (POR) for which wind data is summarized varies
for individual locations, and may begin and end at any time during the 1930-
1996 period. Wind summaries from a total of 321 stations from all U.S. states
are presented. The wind elements summarized by month and overall annual
values include prevailing wind directions (given in compass points), mean
wind speeds, and either peak gusts (in miles per hour), fastest-mile, or
highest 5-second winds. Peak wind types may be combined to reflect the
highest reported wind. Updated wind data for many sites can be obtained from
the post 1996 Edited Local Climatological Data - Annual publications.

        To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers
and the public.
