    The document analyzes wind speed data from 10 locations in Saudi Arabia from 1970 to mid-1990 to calculate the shape and scale parameters of a Weibull distribution function. It finds that the shape parameter values varied between 1.7 and 2.7, while the scale parameter values varied between 3 and 6. It concludes that the Weibull distribution function very well represents wind data.

    WEIBULL PARAMETERS FOR WIND SPEED DISTRIBUTION IN SAUDI ARABIA

    SHAFIQUR REHMAN,* T. O. HALAWANI. and T A I I I R HLSAIN Meteorology, Standards & Materials Division. Research Institute. King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals. Dhahran-31261. Saudi Arabia AbstractThe shape and scale parameters of a Weibull density distribution function are calculated for 10 locations in Saudi Arabia. The daily mean wind speed data from 1970 to mid-1990 are used for this purpose. It is found that the numerical values of the shape parameter vary between 1.7 and 2.7. whereas the value of the scale parameter is found to vary between 3 and 6. It is also concluded from this study (hat wind data are very well represented by the Weibull distribution function.
