Wind speed and direction for terrestrial ecology
Posted: Thu Jun 01, 2023 5:42 am America/New_York
Hello,
I need wind speed and wind direction for a project on a terrestrial bird species. I was looking through Earthdata database, but can't find anything that matches what I need.
I don't need high time resolution, like daily dominant wind direction and max or mean wind speed will be enough. For spatial resolution, since I'm using the Temperature and precipitation information from "Beaudoing, H. and M. Rodell, NASA/GSFC/HSL (2020), GLDAS Noah Land Surface Model L4 3 hourly 0.25 x 0.25 degree V2.1, Greenbelt, Maryland, USA, Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC), Accessed: 31/12/2022, 10.5067/E7TYRXPJKWOQ" retrieved regularly by the GIS team of my NGO, the same spatial resolution would be fine. Anything higher would be fine too, I can summarize.
I wrote to Earthdata support who answered that you may be able to help in this forum.
I'm sorry if there was an obvious answer, I'm a wildlife population biologist, so lots of the things I was reading, I don't fully understand!
Best wishes,
Chloé
