Boulder Valley Wind Statistics from the NOAA Environmental Technology Laboratory
Entry ID:
OAR0079
Summary
Abstract:
The Boulder Wind Network (BWN), in operation between 1979 and 1989, was a
collection of five surface measuring sites for studying windstorms in the Boulder area. Each site consisted of a 20 foot tower with sensors measuring wind speed, wind direction, temperature, and pressure. The Boulder Valley Wind Statistics Data Set is a compilation of the representative year of BWN data that have been extensively documented and quality controlled. The data are in the form of 20 minute averages presented by site and month of year in the form of histograms of wind speed and direction. Background information and case studies have been included with the data. In addition to the data set described above, the data from the entire ten years of operation of the BWN has been archived on magnetic tape. Geographic Coverage
