Abstract
This research investigates changes in global mean surface wind speeds (SWS) associated with the physical characteristics of regions surrounding weather stations. The bulk of existing research on SWS shows decreasing winds over Earth’s mid-latitude continental regions. The speculated cause is land use changes, which modify surface friction. We investigate several physical characteristics including surface roughness, station elevation, aspect and prevailing wind direction to measure their effect on changing SWS.
