Wind is the most dynamic variable influencing the behavior of grassfires.Wind speedvaries widely over short time periods as well as with height above the ground (Finnigan, 2000). For the purposes of predicting rate of spread it is necessary to specify the height at which the wind is measured...
The probability distribution of wind speed series shows heavy tails, while there are frequent state transitions, in which wind speed changes by large magnitudes, over relatively short time periods. These so-called large ramp events are one of the critical issues currently facing the wind energy ...

This work presents an approach to help to overcome this problem. The main objective is the generation of synthetic wind gust velocities. With ...
Wind energy, as a renewable energy source, offers the advantage of clean and pollution-free power generation. Its abundant resources have positioned wind power as the fastest-growing and most widely adopted method of electricity generation. Wind speed st
1. Background High wind speeds pose a threat to the integrity of structures, particularly those at exposed sites such as bridges, wind turbines and radio masts. In any design project for large structures, safety considerations must be balanced against the additional cost of 'over-design'. ...

ally superior to using a measure of average wind speeds across the country, since site-specific conditions differ from the national average and the output of wind turbines depends non-linearly on the wind speed at every moment in time, which is very poorly captured by its average over a ...
Several theoretical and empirical models to describe the vertical distribution of mean wind speed have been proposed, the predictions of which are dependent on the characterisation of the underlying surface. However, at present, due to the lack of both observed wind speeds and surface roughness data...
Overlapping time periods between buoys and altimetry are used. Buoys containing less than 2 years of data are discarded. We compare the performances of the ALES SWH against the standard geophysical data records (GDR) in terms of Pearson correlation coefficient with respect to the buoys. We select...
