Daily precipitation values with monthly totals Wind Speed and Direction 24. Winds at the FRF are dominated by tropical maritime air masses which create low to moderate, warm southern breezes; arctic and polar air masses which produce cold winds from northerly directions; and smaller scale cyclonic, low pressure systems, which originate either in the tropics (and move north along the coast) or on land (and move eastward offshore). The dominant wind direction changes with season, being generally from northern directions in the fall and winter and from southern directions in the spring and summer. It is common for fall and winter storms (northeasters) to produce winds with average speeds in excess of 15 m/sec. Measurement instrument 25. Winds were measured on top of the laboratory building at an ele- vation of m (Figure 2) using a Weather Measure Corporation (Sacramento, CA) Skyvane Model W102P anemometer. Wind speed and direction data were 13.
