    Resum:
    This study analyses for the first time observed surface mean wind speed (SWS) and gusts over the Iberian Peninsula (IP) in the frequency domain for 1961–2019, with the goal of exploring sources of predictability in the interannual and decadal scales. The main result is the high significant correlation between surface winds and the stratospheric polar vortex for periods close to 1 year with a time lag of about 2–3 months with respect to the antiphase, that is, a negative correlation in which the polar vortex modulates winds in the region. Furthermore, we found that the SWS and gusts are decoupled for periods between 9 and 11 years with a marked seasonal dependence in its intensity. Finally, we detected discrepancies between the spectra shown by surface winds from observations and ERA5-Land reanalysis, suggesting that simulated data do not accurately reproduce the variability of surface wind speeds.
