Wind Climate in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, and Attribution of Leading Wind Driving Mechanisms through Turbulence-Resolving Simulations

<table>The wind climatology for the Ny-Ålesund station as obtained from the IGRA data archive for the period 1993–2008. The wind speed climatology is shown with color; wind direction, with the orientation of the bars; and probability, with the size of the bars. Arrows show the median wind vectors.</table>
