"30 Aug. 66." "CIR 4473." Includes bibliographical references. "The numbers of hourly occurrences of the stronger wind speeds at Winnipeg were tabulated by months and by direction. 78 percent of the occurrences were with the directions of NW, NNW, N, NNE, SSE and S. The gradient and geostrophic winds were calculated from surface synoptic charts and compared to the recorded surface gusts. The possible effect of the preference for direction is applied to the gust speed. A method of forecasting the direction, mean speed, and peak gust speed of the surface wind is developed together with two formulae and a check list for its application"--Abstract.
