Summary
The text file "Wind speed.txt" contains hourly data and associated codes from January 1, 1948, to September 30, 2014. The primary source of the data is the Argonne National Laboratory, Illinois. The codes consist of a three-digit sequence in the form "xyz" that describe the origin and transformations of the data values. They indicate if the data are original or missing, the method that was used to fill the missing periods, and any other transformations of the data. The user of the data should consult Over and others (2010) for the detailed documentation of the data codes.

This data set may be used as input to the Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN (HSPF) model or other similar rainfall-runoff model for simulating streamflow in DuPage County and nearby areas in northeastern Illinois. This will be available to the public and other cooperators for doing similar streamflow simulations or meteorological analyses.
Data is collected by Argonne National Laboratory and is available at the website (http://gonzalo.er.anl.gov/ANLMET/numeric/). These data are processed following the guidelines documented in the report Over and others (2010).
