A Statistical Analysis of Eleuthera Island Wind Data for the Period 27 April 1989 Through 30 March 1990

Abstract

This document presents a statistical analysis of wind data obtained at Eleuthera Island, Bahamas, during the period between April 1989 and March 1990. The analysis is limited to empirically determined probability distribution and density functions, first- and second-moment estimators, and one-dimensional Fourier transforms, appropriately averaged for power spectral estimates. Broad conclusions are drawn about the variability of wind speed, the predominant wind direction, and the pattern of wind speed during specified intervals.
