WIND PERSISTENCE AT THE ADRIATIC

Dražen Poje ; Zagreb, Savska c. 1

Abstract

Using anemograph data from 8 stations in the Adriatic area and two stations in the interior of Croatia the main characteristics of wind persistence were delineated. For several thresholds of wind speeds the mean duration of continuous wind blowing and values of 90%, 99% and maximal duration of all cases are presented. For all duration of wind runs the simple function y = A + B/x could be used which connects the probability of occurrence y with the chosen duration of wind run x in hours, and coefficients A and B may be determined by several nomograms and by the annual wind speed. ln the last chapter of the work results on wind direction persistence are also presented.
