Monthly mean wind direction (deg) and wind speed (m/s) for the 250 mb pressure level (Tropopause) aggregated for a 64-year period (1950–2014) for four of the 60 NCEP grid points used for the Asia-Pacific region. Wind rose diagrams depict the frequency of winds blowing ‘from’ a particular direction over the 64-year period. The length of each spoke is related to the frequency that the wind blows from a particular direction (e.g. N, S E or W) over the 64-year period and each concentric circle represents a different frequency (e.g. 10, 20, 30 %) emanating from zero at the centre (modified after Bear-Crozier et al. 2016)
