Is this real? Note that the histogram of directions is similar to that from the meter above." The version of this file that we present here has been smoothed in two steps: First, many individual speed spikes were removed by linear interpolation. Second, u and v (and implicitly speed and direction) were smoothed further by passing both series through a hanning filter, which has weights 1/4, 1/2, and 1/4. The temperature series has not been smoothed.
