Marine wind data presentation using wind transition matrix

Abstract

One of the methods to simulate the random wind behaviour through time is to use historical wind data presented in the form of wind transition matrix. Here it is assumed that, the probability that the wind will shift from one direction to another depends upon the direction from which the wind is presently blowing. The percentage cumulative wind transition matrix of the order of 49 x 49 has been presented for the data obtainEd. by the wind monitoring system. These observations were obtained at a coastal site north of Goa, India
