Abstract: The inverse Gaussian distribution is suggested as an alternative to the three-parameter Weibull distribution for the description of wind speed data with low frequencies of low speeds. A comparison of the two distributions ...

Abstract: The largest hailstone to strike a hailpad is often smaller than the largest hailstone observed in the immediate vicinity. This has given rise to some comment in the literature, but the apparent anomaly is only a trivial ...

Abstract: Regression-based estimators are presented for the long-term mean and variance of wind speed at a potential aerogenerator site. By ?long term? is meant the mean and variance of wind speed which would have been obtained from ...

Abstract: Asymptotic extreme-value theory is used as the basis of a stochastic model which predicts aspects of the freezing behavior of supercooled water droplets. The model gives a general theoretical base to an earlier empirical ...

Abstract: The mean water vapor transfer of the Southwest Pacific, as determined from radiosonde records near the 170°E meridional transect, is computed for the 1960?73 period. Emphasis is placed on defining average patterns, then ...
