Wind speed climatology and trends for Australia, 1975–2006: Capturing the stilling phenomenon and comparison with near‐surface reanalysis output
Open accessAbstract
Near‐surface wind speeds (u) measured by terrestrial anemometers show declines (a ‘stilling’) at a range of mid‐latitude sites, but two gridded u datasets (a NCEP/NCAR reanalysis output and a surface‐pressure‐based u model) have not reproduced the stilling observed at Australian stations. We developed Australia‐wide 0.01° resolution daily u grids by interpolating measurements from an expanded anemometer network for 1975–2006. These new grids represented the magnitude and spatial‐variability of observed u trends, whereas grids from reanalysis systems (NCEP/NCAR, NCEP/DOE and ERA40) essentially did not, even when minimising the sea‐breeze impact. For these new grids, the Australian‐averaged u trend for 1975–2006 was −0.009 m s−1 a−1 (agreeing with earlier site‐based studies) with stilling over 88% of the land‐surface. This new dataset can be used in numerous environmental applications, including benchmarking general circulation models to improve the representation of key parameters that govern u estimation. The methodology implemented here can be applied globally.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
