Try "Wind Characteristics" by Janardian Rohatgi and Vaughn Nelson, 1994,
ISBN 0-8-87-1478-3, 240 pages, available from Alternative Energy Institute,
West Texas A&M University, Box 248, Canyon TX 79016, USA. A recent email
quoted US$20 here in USA.

This book covers the statistics of wind, terrain effects, power available,
energy conversion, modeling, etc. I borrowed it from a local library loan
service. It's well worth the price.

Dear Group,
I´d like to know if anyone could recommend books about the mathematical
treatment of wind measurements (averages,
standard deviation, turbulence intensity, Weibull, etc). I am seeking a
rather in-depth treatment, that might combine statistics with sampling
issues. Thank you,

Rafael Oliva
