Click on the following links to go to the wind data for that location.
Frenchmans Ridge (7.7 m/s at 50 meters) | Fort Belknap (6.4 m/s at 50 meters)
Medicine Lake (6.0 m/s at 50 meters) | Sheep Valley (7.9 m/s at 50 meters)
Springdale (7.7 m/s at 50 meters)

Speeds are averages at 50 meters, estimated using WindPRO assuming
a wind gradient exponent of 0.15 for all sectors.

While this page has wind data useful to everyone, it will be most helpful to people wishing to analyze site data with their own software. For those looking to analyze data on-line, much of these data can also be found at EERC, University of North Dakota.

The data on this page were collected by DEQ, sometimes in cooperation with other parties.

This is a beta version of the data page. The final version will have more wind monitoring sites and, in some instances, a more complete description of the monitoring site. Any comments or requests for additional features or information should be sent to Paul Cartwright, 406-841-5234.
