Winds

Figure 4 shows the annual and seasonal wind roses for the coordinates 19.5◦ N 96◦ W, the location of which is approximately 40 km seaward of the La Mancha lagoon inlet. The data were obtained from the Era5 Climate Reanalysis produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF): hourly data on sea state parameters for 1979–2019, on a regular latitude–longitude grid at 0.5◦ × 0.5◦ resolution [23]. The annual Climate Reanalysis shows that the most frequent winds in La Mancha come from the NW, with speeds of 20–35 km/h. During winter storms and in the rainy season, winds reaching >50 km/h are observed.
