Wind systems at this spot
On the Simssee most wind days come with a west wind from west to southwest. East wind from northeast to east is rarer, in our measurements mainly in spring and in December. Thermals bring no wind here.
The drivers
Upper wind west/east
Shown is the wind at about 1.5 km altitude (850 hPa) above the lake: upwards the share from the west, downwards the share from the east, plus the direction (right axis).
On the Simssee the wind almost always comes with the large-scale weather pattern. When it blows strongly from the west aloft, it also blows from west to southwest on the lake. In our measurements at Ecking there was hardly a wind day below 20 knots of west wind aloft.
East wind on the lake needs east wind aloft. In our measurements at Ecking, from about 16 knots of east wind aloft there was wind in about one in five hours between 10 and 19 o'clock, below 12 knots almost never.
