super instruments Average daily wind run measured during a calendar month or year, calculated over the period of record. Daily wind run is measured at 9 am local time and is an indication of the average wind speed over the previous 24 hours. For example, a daily wind run of 240 km, divided by 24 hours in a day, gives a mean wind speed of 10 km/h. If, for some reason, an observation is unable to be made, the next observation is recorded as an accumulation. Accumulated data are not included within wind run climate statistics. There are two common heights for the measurement of wind run; the data behind this statistic were measured at 10 m above the ground, while wind run at a height less than 3 m above the ground is often measured in conjunction with evaporation
