The diurnal wind variation in the lowest 1500 ft in central Oklahoma - June 1966-May 1967.A one-year accumulation of wind data from a television tower in northern Oklahoma City has been analyzed on a diurnal basis. The annual mean speeds below the third level at 296 ft are lowest at night and highest during the day, and conversely the speeds up to the seventh level at 1458 ft are lowest during the day and highest at night. Generally, speed changes occur in short time periods shortly after sunrise and near sunset. Resultant wind directions veer most with height from 1700 to 1000 CST and least during midday. At all levels winds veer with time between 2100 and approximately 1100 CST and then back with time during the remaining hours.
