High-wind periods are associated with different CWTs. The three columns illustrate the large scale atmospheric conditions as obtained by ERA-Interim during three extremely long high-wind periods: (a,d) HP1 in November-December 2006, (b,e) HP2 in October 1983 and (c,f) HP3 in January-February 1990. The contours show the average mean sea level pressure (MSLP) in hPa while the shading shows the 500 hPa geopotential height in meters (upper row, (a–c)), and the standard deviation of MSLP (lower row, (d,e)), respectively. The magenta dot shows the location of Alpha Ventus. Maps were created using Python 2.7.12: https://www.python.org/.
