| Sumario: | Surface wind is relevant for society, from pollutant dispersion to structural vulnerability studies and wind power production. Over Northeastern North America the large scale combined with orography and other local features contributes to a high wind variability and the occurrence of extreme wind events all year round. Up to date no studies dealt with the surface wind variability, from intra-annual to centennial timescales, over the region as a whole, and in relation with the large scale circulation patterns. An exhaustive assessment of uncertainties has been conducted in every step of the analysis, from the construction of an observational wind dataset of acquired quality to the evaluation of the methodological uncertainty involved in the downscaling strategy... |
