Analysis of Historic Wind Data for Use in Vessel Mooring Analyses
Publication: Ports 2007: 30 Years of Sharing Ideas: 1977-2007
Abstract
This paper will cover available sources of data, selection of appropriate data, statistical analysis methods for determining wind speeds with appropriate durations and return periods and recommendations for utilizing historic wind data for mooring analyses. When utilizing historic wind records, it is important to understand both the benefits and limitations of the data. Meteorological records are based on standards that are not always directly compatible with a mooring analysis. Also, meteorological methods have changed over the years and can vary by location. It is important to understand how the wind data is collected, analyzed and reported, before applying the information to a mooring analysis.
