Wind data analysis

This option enables analyses of any time-series of wind measurements to provide a statistical summary of the observed, site-specific wind climate:

• time-series of wind speed and direction —> observed wind climate (OWC)

The statistical summary consists of the wind direction distribution (wind rose) and the sector-wise wind speed distributions; these distributions constitute the meteorological input to WAsP:

This functionality is implemented as a separate tool, the WAsP Climate Analyst. In this, the wind data can also be shown in several graphs: the time traces of wind direction and wind speed, and as a polar scatter plot of the observations.
