This work is concerned with the estimation of onshore wind resources in the coast of Ceará, Brazil by using the linear regression method. The main focus is to estimate the average wind speed at several altitudes from data collected at the surface. Two specific areas are investigated i.e....

Local wind climate is usually measured and described as the result of a regional wind climate modulated by local topography effects, roughness and obstacles in the surrounding area. This paper renders a fuzzy-logic-based method designed to generate the local wind conditions originated by these...

The paper studied by Daga and Deo (2008) considers the feasibility of using genetic programming (GP) for estimating wind from waves by inverse modeling. The paper includes some problems about the fundamental aspects and use of the proposed GP approach for the aim of their study. In this...

An attempt is made to derive wind speed from wave measurements by carrying out an inverse modeling. This requirement arises out of difficulties occasionally encountered in collecting wave and wind data simultaneously. The wind speed at every 3-h interval is worked out from corresponding...
