Wind-Speed Periodicity Study for Shemya AFB, Alaska

Abstract

Describes results of a time series analysis of Shemya AFB, Alaska, in an attempt to identify high frequency periodicities (fluctuations with periods of less than 1 hour) in wind speed at Shemya AFB, Alaska. Peaks in the power spectra at low frequencies were filtered out, and the remaining peaks were tested for significance. None of the peaks in the spectra at high frequencies were found to be significantly different from white noise.
