Bivariate Normal Wind Statistics model: User's Manual.

Abstract

User instructions, sample input, sample output, and processing times are provided for USAFETAC/DND's wind statistics model. This model's basic input consists of five wind statistics: the means and standard deviations of the zonal and meridional wind components, and the correlation coefficient of these components. The model uses a bivariate normal distribution of these wind components to generate its output. The model's users can interactively select one or several of its output options. Each option generates a different type of output. The available options include: points on an elliptical probability contour, the probability of a range of wind directions, the probability of a range of wind speeds, the joint probability of a range of wind speeds and directions, new basic wind statistics using a rotated coordinate system, and the conditional probability of a range of wind speeds given a wind direction.
