From an analysis of wind speed data (hourly interval average, taken over a one year period), the Weibull parameters are determined to be c = 6 m/s and k = 1.8. What is the average wind speed at this site?
If the CAPE at an airport is 2000 J/kg and convective inhibition (CIN) is -15 J/kg. Wind data concludes that wind shear doesn't change with height. Using sounding data provided, how do you interpret the results?
Saffir-Simpson scale conversion of 1-minute speeds at 10 metres over Category 4 storm with peak wind gusts at 10 metres over open terrain. According to Table safir- simpson scale and corresponding wind speed, the weakest and strongest Category 4 storms had 1-minute speeds at 10 m above open ocean of 130 and 156 mph, respectively. The conversion is based on the surface roughness lengths' anticipated values, which are z_0 for open water and z_0 for open land. In contrast to wind flow over open water, wind flow over shallow water near shorelines is appropriate for relatively large values of z_0. Assuming that Eq. (2.54a,b) produces hurricane winds over open ocean with z_0 = 0.003m and beta(z_0) = 6.5 and c(60s) = 1.29
PROPAGATION OF ERROR You are tasked to supervise the design of 0.5MW wind turbine to be constructed in a Wind Farm in Pililla, Rizal. Suppose the design criteria are as follows: The air density as surveyed after 2 year period averaged at 1.225 kg/m3. The sweeping diameter of the rotor blades is 125m, and the anemometer reading in the area amounts to 4.2m/s on a 2 year period of survey. What is the theoretical power output of the turbine assuming 100% efficiency of operation? Your answer must be in kW and in two decimal places with correct signs.

In a catchment, there are four rain-gauge stations, P, Q, R, and S. Normal annual precipitation values at these stations are 780 mm, 850 mm, 920 mm and 980 mm respectively. In the year 2013, stations Q, R, and S, were operative but P was not. Using the normal ratio method, the precipitation at station P for the year 2013 has been established as 860 mm. If the observed precipitation at station Q and R for the year 2013 were 930 mm and 1010 mm, respectively; what was the observed precipitation (in mm) at station S for that year?
