Statistical dynamics of tropical wind in radiosonde data

Weibull distributions were fitted to wind speed data from radiosonde stations in the global tropics. A statistical theory of independent wind contributions was proposed to partially explain the shape parameter <i>k</i> obtained over Malay Peninsula and the wider Equatoria...
