China Surface Climatic Data Daily Data Set 60 (Version 3.0) China Meteorological Data Service Center (CMDSC) http://101.200.76.197:91/mekb/?r=data/cdcdetail&dataCode=SURF_CLI_CHN_MUL_DAY_V3.0

Short summary

Our research analyzed China's wind speed data and addressed inconsistencies caused by factors like equipment changes and station relocations. After improving data quality, China's recent wind speed decrease reduced by 41 %, revealing an increasing trend. This emphasizes the importance of rigorous data processing for accurate trend assessments in various research fields.
