Wind-Speed Forecasting Study for Westover AFB, Massachusetts

Abstract

This report describes the results of a wind speed forecasting study for Westover AFB, located in the Connecticut River valley of western Massachusetts. The purpose of this study is to identify useful tools for forecasting winds speeds at Westover AFB. The results were five models that can be used as guides to forecasting maximum Westover winds for 6-hour periods starting at any 3-hourly time (OOZ, O3Z, etc.) in any season.
