Low-Frequency Rotation of Surface Winds over Canada

Low-Frequency Rotation of Surface Winds over Canada

Hourly surface observations from the Canadian Weather Energy and Engineering Dataset were analyzed with respect to long-term wind direction drift or rotation. Most of the Canadian landmass, including the High Arctic, exhibits a spatially consistent and remarkably steady anticyclonic rotation of wind...
