Subset of Irish wind speed data

Format

A data frame with 433 rows and 6 columns containing the daily average wind speeds within the period 1961-1978 at meteorological stations in the Republic of Ireland. The data are a random sample from a larger data set.

RochePt: Roche Point
Rosslare: Rosslare
Shannon: Shannon
Dublin: Dublin
Clones: Clones
MalinHead: Malin Head

Details

The original data set is much larger and was analyzed in detail by Haslett and Raftery (1989). Van Buuren et al (2006) used this subset to investigate the influence of extreme MAR mechanisms on the quality of imputation.
