Mixture probability distribution functions to model wind speed distributions

Empirical Downscaling of Wind Speed Probability Distributions

Computability of Probability Distributions and Distribution Functions

We define the computability of probability distributions on the real line as well as that of distribution functions. Mutual relationships between the computability notion of a probability distribution and that of the corresponding distribution function are discussed. It is carried out through attempts to effectivize some classical fundamental theorems concerning probability distributions. We th...

Mixture EMOS model for calibrating ensemble forecasts of wind speed

Ensemble model output statistics (EMOS) is a statistical tool for post-processing forecast ensembles of weather variables obtained from multiple runs of numerical weather prediction models in order to produce calibrated predictive probability density functions. The EMOS predictive probability density function is given by a parametric distribution with parameters depending on the ensemble foreca...

Comparison of the Weibull Model with Measured Wind Speed Distributions

Wind is the principal driver of the Wind Erosion Prediction System (WEPS), which is a process−based computer model for the simulation of wind−blown sediment loss from a field. WEPS generates wind using a stochastic wind generator. The objectives of this study were to improve the stochastic generation of wind speed and direction and to update the wind statistics used by the generator with statis...

Using Weibull probability distribution to calibrate prevailing wind applying in oil spill simulation

In the Persian Gulf, the major source of oil pollution is related to the transportation of tankers, offshore production and discharges by coastal refineries. The water dynamical field has been obtained using a new hydrodynamic model. Local wind is recognized as the principal driving force combining to the water dynamic field to determine oil drift on the sea surface. The Weibull probability dis...
