wind roses of the annual hours in % from station measurements for Germany at a height of approx. 10 m

Based on hourly averages of the wind, multi-year strength wind roses (at least strength wind roses with an annual reference) are created. In order to be able to make representative statements about the wind conditions at a station with the help of a starch wind rose, conditions regarding data availability, continuity of the measuring site, homogeneity of the measuring method and a uniform sensor height per site were taken into account.


These data originate from stations of the DWD and legally and qualitatively equivalent partner network stations.

Specific usage

The quality of the starch wind roses depends on the quality of the station readings. These are subjected to a continuous quality check. The stations were selected according to WMO criteria.
