<br />. <br /> <br />..~ : ~ <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />0736 <br /> <br />considered that wind characteristics at Trinidad would be similar to those <br /> <br />at Pueblo. The maximum wind velocity recorded at Pueblo was 80 miles per <br /> <br /> <br />hour from the west for the fastest mile and was recorded on January 17, <br /> <br /> <br />1950; Wind data for Pueblo are shown in table 8. The maximum velocity <br /> <br /> <br />for 5-minute duration was 58 miles per hour from northwest direction <br /> <br /> <br />which occurred January 21, 1943. However, there are no data available <br /> <br /> <br />for 5-minute winds subsequent to 1947. Based on the relation of the <br /> <br /> <br />maximum wind velocity of 5-minute and I-hour durations, at stations <br /> <br /> <br />recording these data, a 58 mile per hour velocity for a 5-minute dura- <br /> <br /> <br />tion is equivalent to a 50 mile per hour velocity for a duration of one <br /> <br />hour. <br /> <br />TIlerefore, the estimated maximum wind velocity at the <br /> <br />Trinidad reservoir site is 50 miles per hour for a l~hour duration. <br /> <br />9 <br /> <br />APPENDIX B <br /> <br />~ ",; " ;' <br /> <br />
