Wind Speed Standard Deviation (10 m)
The standard deviation of the wind speed.
  • This variable is a measure of the steadiness of wind speed. A small standard deviation indicates the wind generally blowing at the same speed; a large standard deviation indicates significant changes in wind speed during the 5-minute interval. The standard deviation may be large for inclement weather.
