Dataset to adjusted spectral correction method for calculating extreme winds in tropical c

A 50-year wind dataset with an effective temporal resolution of 10 minutes over three areas affected by tropical cyclones. It contains wind speed estimates at heights of 10, 50, 100, and 150 meters, organized into 18 files. The data was contributed by Xiaoli Guo Larsén from the Technical University of Denmark.

Use Cases

• Modeling extreme wind loads on offshore infrastructure based on 50-year return period wind speeds.
• Validating spectral correction methods for wind speed calculations based on data at four different heights.
• Analyzing spatial patterns of tropical cyclone wind fields based on data across three distinct areas (E1, W1, W2).
• Calibrating numerical weather prediction models for tropical cyclones based on high-temporal-resolution wind data.

Strengths

• Provides wind data at four specific heights (10 m, 50 m, 100 m, 150 m) for vertical profile analysis.
• Covers three distinct geographical areas (E1, W1, W2) for spatial comparison.
• Based on a 50-year return period, which is a standard metric for extreme value analysis in engineering.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
