Abstract: Mean values of precipitable water are determined for 182 stations throughout the world using a 3-yr. period and evaluation methods developed by Peterson and Showalter. The resulting distribution is presented on a series ...

Abstract: The derivation of the Weibull distribution from the bivariate normal distribution provides theoretical justification for its use in wind speed analysis if four conditions are met. These conditions are that the orthogonal ...

Abstract: The autocorrelation of hourly wind speed observations is estimated for seven stations on the west coast of Canada at selected lags ranging from one hour to two months. The estimated autocorrelation function is fitted by a ...
