Time series records of wind speeds are considered and the general objective is their non-classical statistical analysis on the continental shelf in various locations on the American continent (north, central and south) with the purpose of prospecting the existence of associated power laws as well as long-range correlations and as specific objectives the record of feasibility of local wind generation and description of its behavior. A methodology based on literature review and the use of the DFA (Detrended Fluctuation Analysis) technique is adopted. Data from meteorological stations (onshore and offshore) are used. Finally, preliminary, robust and continuous results show promising aspects and registration of the crossover phenomenon in some situations.
