Description:
Route equivalent winds are an important aid to long range planning by aviation interests. The recent publication of point wind statistics by the U. S. Navy, NAVAER 50-1C-526, provides a considerable amount of material which can be used to probe the use of one route against another. Where many routes are to be examined, then recourse to punched card data and electronic computing machines is desirable. Such cards and machines are available at the National Weather Records Center where the material for the Navy publication was prepared. In many cases, though, one may wish to examine only a few routes. This paper shows how the point wind statistics as published in the NAVAER 50-1C-526 may be readily converted to route wind statistics.
