The Probability Distribution Model of Wind Speed over East Malaysia

Empirical Downscaling of Wind Speed Probability Distributions

An Assessment of Wind Erosion Schemes in Dust Emission Simulations over the Middle East

Extended abstract 1- INTRODUCTION        Atmospheric aerosols, solid and liquid particles in the atmosphere, play a crucial role in the atmospheric radiation equilibrium. These particles have an influence on the scattering and absorption of short wavelength radiation, and on the other hand, affect radiation absorption and emission in long wavelengths. Dust particles are among the importan...

Wind power distribution over the ocean

[1] Probability distribution and power density of wind speed over global oceans are computed from eight years of QuikSCAT measurements. They describe the variation and higher moments of wind speed that are critical in relating the non-linear effects of wind on electric power generation capability, shipping hazard, and air-sea exchanges in heat, water, and greenhouse gases. The power density dis...

Analyzing the probabilistic distribution of the predicted wind speed

Wind power generation is characterized by its variability and uncertainty in the wind speed. Due to the irregular nature of wind power production, accurate prediction of wind speed is essential for its application in optimum power flow, transmission congestion, economic load dispatch and electricity market clearing prices. Wind speed of a wind farm is affected by conditions of the environment i...

The Probability Distribution of Land Surface Wind Speeds

The probability density function (pdf) of land surface wind speeds is characterized using a global network of observations. Daytime surface wind speeds are shown to be broadly consistent with the Weibull distribution, while nighttime surface wind speeds are generally more positively skewed than the corresponding Weibull distribution (particularly in summer). In the midlatitudes, these strongly ...
