Table 5. Comparison of ranking of years based on wind-speed data measured at the Klamath Falls airport and at the Agrimet site adjacent to Agency Lake, Oregon, July–August 2000–2006.
[Hourly data measured at the Klamath Falls airport were obtained from the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), and hourly data from the weather station (AGKO) adjacent to Agency Lake were obtained from the Bureau of Reclamation’s Agrimet service. Both datasets initially were filtered by including only those wind speeds greater than the median wind speed for each month for 1990–2006 for the NCDC data and for 2000–06 for the Agrimet data. From the remaining upper one-half of the data, the median wind speeds were calculated for each month. m/s, meter per second]
