Abstract

Measurement station with mast of 19m has been established in a built-up area, near the seashore to study the structure of a coastal location “Port Said” on Suez Canal–Mediterranean Sea intercept in Egypt. From our analysis of the wind data, an important characteristic is revealed in that the wind speed Spring months are more than that in Winter period. This characteristic is opposite to the prevailing wind speed parameters in most European countries. This paper also gives a detailed analysis of measured frequency distributions and monthly wind speed variation with air temperature that can exploited in the best way for fast wind machines.
