| hasSummary |
-
Long term monthly mean winds were derived from a collection of
aircraft data, which were obtained from two sources: 1) operational
Global Telecommunication System (GTS) reports collected by the
Honolulu National Weather Service and the U.S. Navy, and 2) aircraft
logs from many routes which often were not reported over the GTS.
Aircraft winds were summarized for each month in 5-degree
latitude-longitude squares. Monthly-averaged rawinsonde data were
then combined with these summarized aircraft winds in manual
analyses of streamlines and isotachs. This dataset's 2.5-degree
grids of wind speed and direction were digitized from the manual
analyses.
