WRF U,V 10-meters average scale

[lquitian]

Good afternoon,

I would like to compare my WRF 10-meters wind results (related to a subtropical cyclone) with the Atmospheric Motion Vectors (AMVs) but I do not really know to which average scale (1-minute, 10-minute, instantaneous, etc.) these WRF 10-meters winds would correspond (if they really correspond to some average scale).

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Lara

Lara,
U10 and V10 in wrfout are instantaneous values. They are not time-averaged.

Thank you so much!
