The article analyzes wind patterns in the northern Irish Sea, focusing on strong winds and gales. Data from five stations are used to estimate extreme wind speeds and gusts. The study shows that geostrophic and gradient winds cannot accurately predict surface winds in speed or direction. Wind speeds vary throughout the year.
