Weibull A

The Weibull A value is the scale factor from the Weibull distribution. This factor is related to the average wind speed by the following equation:

where:

U is the average wind speed
G is the gamma function
k is the Weibull k factor

A Weibull fit algorithm is a method of finding the Weibull distribution parameters that best fit a set of observations. Windographer provides multiple Weibull fit algorithms, and in the Tools window you can choose your preferred Weibull fit algorithm.

Windographer displays and graphs the best-fit Weibull parameters on the Histogram window and the Wind Speed Distribution window. The Weibull parameters also appear in numerous tables on the Tables window.
