✦ Synopsis

This work presents a climatological study of winds at a particular site and proposes a simple model to simulate data time series of horizontal surface wind. The model relies on three major hypotheses: (i) speed and direction are treated as independent variables; (ii) wind can be expressed as the sum of a deterministic component (including trend and cyclical variations) plus a probabilistic or stochastic component; and (iii) both components (deterministic and stochastic) are independent. An hourly based 7 year wind series measured at the meteorological station in Almazora, located at the Spanish Mediterranean coast, is analyzed. Only the deterministic component of this series is simulated in accordance with the model proposed. Results indicate that the model is especially suitable for predicting wind at sites in which some cyclic pattern is expected.

In this paper we examine time series modelling of surface pressure data, as measured by a barograph, at Herne Bay, England, during the years 1981-1989. Autoregressive moving average (ARMA) models have been popular in many fields over the past 20 years, although applications in climatology have been

The interactions between the semi-annual oscillation (SAO), near-surface wind speed and cloudiness at seven Antarctic stations are described, as is how near-surface temperature is affected. A firmly established half-yearly wave, in both the mean annual cycle of wind speed and of cloudiness, was foun

An important tool in time series analysis is that of combining information in an optimal way. Here we establish a basic combining rule of linear predictors and show that such problems as forecast updating, missing value estimation, restricted forecasting with binding constraints, analysis of outlier

Multiresolution time domain (MRTD) analysis is applied directly to Maxwell's equations to model inhomogeneous dielectric material. In our approach, scaling and wavelet functions are used as a complete basis for the method of moments. The MRTD scheme is used to analyze different types of resonant cav
