Daily average wind speeds for 1961-1978 at 11 synoptic meteorological stations in the Republic of Ireland (Haslett and raftery 1989). Wind speeds are in m/s. De-trended data sets are also provided.

Usage

wind

Format

wind: a list containing a data.frame with 6574 rows and 12 columns, and a list of locations.

Details

The data were obtained from the gstat package, and were modified so that the first column is the time stamps. Locations of the 11 stations are given in wind_loc. wind_train and wind_test contain de-trended and square-root transformed train (1961-1970) and test (1971-1978) data sets. See Gneiting et al. (2006) for de-trending details. wind_trend contains the estimated annual trend and station-wise mean from the training dataset.
