mfuller 0 #1 February 25, 2009 I'm looking for a database of winds aloft, spanning 3 to 5 years. I've looked around on aviation weather and such sites, but don't see historical compilations. Anybody know where such a data base might be hiding? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mfuller 0 #3 February 26, 2009 Thanks Lou for all the links. I'm looking for winds aloft history in the Columbus, Ohio area. I would like to get my hands on several years of data, by month, of wind direction and speed at 3, 6, 9, and 12,000 ft, Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouDiamond 1 #4 February 26, 2009 Try contacting the airport(s) and asking for that ASOS weather information in your area. They collect all that weather data and I am positive they could give you what you're looking for."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

popsjumper 2 #6 March 1, 2009 Wow! Thanks, Lou! I'll be hours and hours running around checking all that interesting info throughout all those links! Off and running on the information superhighway! My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hshort 0 #8 March 17, 2009 Mike: I have seen reference to past winds aloft mentioned on here before. They usually mention weather underground site. Try www.wunderground.com. Tom B I think might be able to help. Harry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try www.wunderground.com Weather Underground has an archive of ground winds, but not aloft winds. I don't know of any site that archives aloft winds. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

fogobo 0 #11 January 27, 2010 Come on everyone. Upper winds and winds aloft both describe the type of air that circulates inside the airplane on the clime up. its the air that no one will take responsibility for. Who would want to know its speed?
