ERA-40 (1957-2002)

Zonal averages of u-wind and temperature from monthly grids
Averages of surface wind speed and temperature from monthly grids

NCEP/DOE reanalyses (1979-2006)

Trends of 80-m wind speed
Correlation coefficient of 80-m wind speed vs. time

Loops of monthly-average 80-m wind speed from 6hr grids
