Abstract:

Based on the hourly wind speed data of Alxa Right Banner from 1960 to 2015, the cumulative probability distribution of wind speed in different time scales (day, month and year) was statistically analyzed. The results show that WeibullCum distribution function is universally applicable in different time scales when describing the cumulative probability distribution of wind speed. In the cumulative probability distribution functions of multi-year averaged daily and monthly wind speed, four constant terms in WeibullCum function changes periodically. In the functions of yearly from 1960 to 2015, two constant terms change periodically and the other two terms change in a decreasing trend. According to the statistics of daily, monthly and yearly sand-driving wind frequencies from 2016 to 2020, and the probabilities of sand-driving wind in the same period, the distribution function has high prediction accuracy for monthly and yearly sand-driving wind occurrence frequencies, but it doesn't work for daily sand-driving wind occurrence frequencies resulted from the great uncertainty of wind in the daily time scale.

Key words: cumulative probability distribution function of wind speed, WeibullCum distribution function, sand-driving wind
