Algorithm for the Estimation of the Long-Term Wind Climate at a Meteorological Mast Using a Joint Probabilistic Approach

A new automatic method of calculation of a long-term representative wind climate is proposed. The procedure is based on the calculation of the joint probability distribution of the wind at a local station and at a long-term reference meteorological mast. The results obtained with this algorithm are compared with estimations of the long-term climate obtained with a Measure-Correlate-Predict method. The agreement found is good, even for very different periods of measurement.
