Method of Calculation for Weibulls (2005-10-06)

[Old Forum Archivist]

There are three main methods for estimating weibull parameters. Least Squares, maximum likelyhood and method of moments. The european atlas makes reference to method of moments, but I can find no direct reference anywhere that this is the method that WASP uses - Can anyone confirm the method of weibull estimation used and whether there are any special approaches taken by WASP in the estimation? Thanks

WAsP uses the moment fitting method for estimating the Weibull parameters. The method is described further on page 583 in the European Wind Atlas.
