Extreme Winds for .oewc

[jms19]

Hello,

I was wondering why the new version of Climate Analyst does not show the V50yr for every sector as it used to do in the past for previous versions. Maybe I haven´t been able to find this option. Can anyone help me? The same for alpha and uncetrainty values.

Thanks a lot

Hello,

WEng 3 and WACA 2 introduced a new method of calculating u50max which is not sector-based. This was to eliminate some logical inconsistencies in the old method. The u50max is no longer directional. Several (sometimes many) different directions are modelled, but only to discover the maximum wind speed from any direction during a given period. This is then used in the Gumbel extrapolation to estimate the 50 year maximum.

Best wishes, Duncan.
