Arithmetic average wind speed over the specified time period at a specified height above the ground level (the international level of 10 m may be implied, however, the U.S. National weather service anemometers are at a height of 6,1 M - 20 ft.). 7, record 3, English, - mean%20wind%20speed
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The wind is a continuous succession of gusts and lulls (quiet intervals) associated with equally rapid changes of direction over a range which may exceed 30°. The mean wind speed over a period of time is therefore the mean of many gusts and lulls. Usually only the mean wind is forecast, unless the gusts are expected to be a significant feature. For instance, fresh, gusty southwest winds indicates that the mean wind speed will be between 17 and 21 knots and the mean wind direction will be from the southwest, but that there will also be gusts to speeds significantly higher than the mean. 8, record 3, English, - mean%20wind%20speed

Deux critères permettent de décrire cette vitesse du vent en surface : la vitesse moyenne rapportée à un intervalle de temps assez long, en principe dix minutes pour le vent en surface dit synoptique et la vitesse instantanée ou vitesse de pointe, rapportée à un intervalle de temps très court, de l'ordre de la seconde. La vitesse du vent est habituellement mesurée en mètres par seconde, en kilomètres par heure ou en nœuds (un nœud correspond à 1,852 kilomètres par heure, soit approximativement 0,5 mètre par seconde). Dans les régions maritimes, on repère également la vitesse moyenne du vent à l'aide de l'échelle anémométrique internationale Beaufort. 3, record 3, French, - vitesse%20moyenne%20du%20vent
