Yes Shawn, most rigs in the North Sea provide instantaneous readings from an anemometer some from two vertically spaced (and even some remotely accessed).

Hover wind graphs are provided for most helicopters used in HEC Class D; they are also provided in the S61N Supplement for calculating offshore landing and take-off masses and for most helicopters when providing helideck procedures.

The latest Bell 412EP 'helideck' graphs provide wind accountability but limited to ensure take-off mass is not greater than AEO HOGE or second segment climb performance (i.e. PC2 performance).
