In alexdum/climatetools: Tools and Data for Weather and Climate Analysis

Weibull parameters and wind speed characteristics

Description

Weibull parameters and wind speed characteristics

Usage

wind_stats(x, rho = 1.225)

Arguments

x	a numeric vector containing hourly wind speed data
rho	air density. Default value is 1.225 kgm^-3 for a temperature of 15 degree Celsius and a standard sea level pressure of 1013.25 hPa

Details

Calculate some simple characteristics of a Weibull distribution function, given the scale parameter A and the shape parameter k. The Weibull characteristics calculated are (Troen and Petersen, 1989):

• mean value:

• max. power wind speed:

• wind power density:

Value

A list with four components:

• mean value:

• max. power wind speed:

• wind power density:

• A scale parameter

• k shape parameter
