Weibull Distributions and Extreme Wind Speeds

Abstract
An investigation is presented into the question of whether or not it may be assumed that the annual extreme wind speeds population at various stations is described by probabilistic models with shorter tails than the Type I distribution. Statistical evidence, based on compararive analysis of annual extreme wind data of and data generated by Monte Carlo simulation, appears to support the validity of this assumption for a large number of stations in the United States.
