%X Obtained results show that the variation of strong geostrophic wind speed statistics describes the variation of ground level wind speed statistics. Annual and seasonal quantiles of geostrophic wind speed and ground level wind speed are positively linearly related. The influence of lowpass filtering is also considered and found to decrease the quality of the linear link. Moreover, several factors are examined that affect the description of storminess through geostrophic wind speed statistics. Geostrophic wind from sea triangles reflects storm activity better than geostrophic wind from land triangles. Smaller triangles lead to a better description of storminess than bigger triangles.
