This dataset is a part of FMI’s BioClimFMI gridded datasets produced mainly as a contribution of the Forbio-project. Dataset include derived climatological variables needed mainly in forestry and agricultural applications. In this dataset, the 10 year return levels of maximum 10 minutes mean wind speed in m/s are presented. The values are calculated for the period of 1979–2015 using the reanalyzed ERA Interim data. Spatial resolution is 20 m × 20 m. This dataset is available in GeoTIFF-format. The method and the data used in creation of the dataset are described in the publication: Venäläinen, A., Laapas, M., Pirinen, P. I., Horttanainen, M., Hyvönen, R., Lehtonen, I., Junila, P., Hou, M., and Peltola, H., 2017: Estimation of the high-resolution variability of extreme wind speeds for a better management of wind damage risks to forest-based bioeconomy, Earth Syst.
