Data sets

HomogWS-se: A century-long homogenized dataset of near-surface wind speed observations since 1925 rescued in Sweden Chunlüe Zhou, Cesar Azorin-Molina, Erik Engström, Lorenzo Minola, Lennart Wern, Sverker Hellström, Jessika Lönn, and Deliang Chen https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5850264

Short summary

Newly digitized wind speed observations provide data from the time period from around 1920 to the present, enveloping one full century of wind measurements. The results of this work enable the investigation of the historical variability and trends in surface wind speed in Sweden for the last century.
