Margaret Short:
" Modeling
wind fields using process convolutions"
We propose an approach
to modeling wind field data using process convolutions. Our approach
has several advantages over a standard Gaussian process approach
for such data. In particular, it has the ability to handle both the
periodicity of the wind direction and the non-negativity of the wind
speed. Ours is a Bayesian model; we implement it via Markov chain
Monte Carlo. We illustrate the approach with an application.
Key
words: wind field, process convolutions, Markov chain Monte Carlo
