Hi

I presume your data frames are not big. What about merging them by hour and 
comparing appropriate columns?

something like

windMerged<-merge(windHW, spring, by = "hour", all=TRUE)
sel <- which(windMerged[, xx] >= windMerged[,yy])
windMerged[sel, xx] <- NA

Untested because lack of data.

Cheers
Petr
