Year Histogram of Average Wind Speed at Gulf Islands Secondary School

Description

Daily average wind speeds are collected and examined to produce these histograms. A curve fitted to the histogram gives us a probability density function (PDF). We choose the best from the following functions: Gamma, max or min Gumbel, Weibull, Gaussian and Spline. The PDF allows us to estimate the 95^th and 99^th percentiles of the data.

The plots are shown for the entire year and for each season. The seasons are defined as follows:

Winter — DJF: December, January, February
Spring — MAM: March, April, May
Summer — JJA: June, July, August
Autumn — SON: September, October, November
