Daily (midnight to midnight) values:
Mean and max wind speed, resultant mean wind vector magnitude
Time of max wind speed
Resultant mean daily wind vector direction, standard deviation,
Daily wind direction vector components (Wind Rose).

Fine Resolution Variables:
22 May 1973 to 12 Mar 1992:
Hourly mean wind speed
12 Mar 1992 to Present:
Hourly mean wind speed, resultant mean wind vector magnitude
13 Sep 1994 to Present:
Resultant mean hourly wind vector direction, standard deviation


Sensor height: 22 May 1973 to 25 Nov 1975 500 cm

Notes: Before 06 Jul 1988, max wind speed was an hourly average,
and the hour with the highest average was the time of max .
After 06 Jul 1988, max wind speed is instantaneous,
and the time of max is accurate to the minute.
After Sept 1994, daytime and nighttime calculations were discontinued.
