Specific hourly wind speeds and wind directions, based on one year (2003), were used to generate monthly, seasonal and annual wind roses charts for the studied area. The summary statistics for the seasonal and annual data for the surface wind speeds at 10 meters were presented and shown that the wind roses depend on spatial wind pattern and the prevailing wind direction between north and east.</p> ER -
