Fig.  3.3.15:  Relative  Frequency  distribution  of  wind  speed  [%]  of  the  ENSEMBLES  RCMs  and  ERA-40  in  the  four  North  Sea  boxes  for  the  period  of  1971-2000.
  X-axis  does  not  show  whole  range  of  possible  wind  speeds,  to  enhance  details  for  smaller  wind  speeds.  Maximum  wind  speed  of  all  models,  days  and  grid
points  in  the  four  areas  is  29.12  m/s
