65. During April through June, the winds were low and easterly through 

 southwesterly. Under 3 percent of the speeds exceeded 10 m/sec; however, on 

 two occasions speeds exceeded 25 m/sec from the south and SSW. The resultant 

 speed was 1.1 m/sec and direction was 184 deg. 



66. The winds during July through September were bidirectional, with 

 26.9 percent blowing from NNE and 41.2 percent from SSW through W. The resul- 

 tant speed was low, 0.4 m/sec, showing the approximate balance between north- 

 erly and southerly winds while the resultant direction was 179 deg, indicating 

 southerly winds occurred slightly more often. For 6.3 percent of the winds 

 during this season, the speed exceeded 10 m/sec — again, primarily from the 

 northeast quadrant. 



67. The winds were mixed during October through December, with 



33.5 percent blowing from NNE through E, and 6 to 10 percent from each of the 

 westerly directions. The resultant wind speed and direction show the north- 

 easterly dominance at 1.3 m/sec and 14 deg, respectively. Wind speeds
