Monthly Charts Showing Frequency of Various Wind Forces over the Mediterranean Sea.
Abstract
This report contains ninety-six charts of the Mediterranean area which were omitted from the Technical Report 'Monthly Charts Showing Frequency of Various Wind Forces over the North Atlantic', Reference No. 50-38. The charts were compiled from the Deutsche Seewarte wind observations. Where possible, the unit of area chosen for calculating the per cent frequency of the various wind forces was one degree of latitude by one degree of longitude, but in some areas, notably in the eastern portion of the Mediterranean, the Adriatic, and in the Black Sea, several units were combined to yield enough data. The charts show the windiest season to be winter. The windiest areas, viz., the Gulf of Lions and the Straits of Bonifacio, are well indicated on the charts for the higher and lower forces, but there is very little indication of them on the charts for forces 4, 5, and 6. So far not enough data have been received to extend the Atlantic charts to 70 deg N.
