Abstract

Time series of then years of Hourly Average Wind Speed, HAWS, data from Tangiers station are analysed on a statistical basis by applying the Markovian process. The limiting behaviour of the Markov chain is then examined and compared to the histogram of observed wind speed. It was found that a 12×12 transition probability matrix was necessary to generate an acceptable synthetic time series. The manner in which the Markovian model can be used to generate wind speed time series are also described.
