wind modeling with Vasicek

QuoteOriginally posted by: outrunI would use real hourly historical wind data. You can get if from any region on the globe. The main source is Metar files from airports: you can download if from WeatherUnderground (I have scripts) or buy DVDs. I use it a lot myself to model electricity prices and also for valuation and production forecasts of turbine parks.*but* going from windspeed to particle trajectory is another thing.wow, the Weather Underground

wind modeling with Vasicek

March 2nd, 2013, 12:47 pm

@outrun and Cuchulainnthanks for the suggestion!I think I need to emphasize again that with respect to the ash model I have already done a lot of research and decided for an advection diffusion reaction equation equation, and already collected a couple of numerical methods to solve it; however, as I need to build a probabilistic model, I need models for the development of wind. I think the wind modeling problem can be examined by itself.Thanks for your help.
