This research analyses time series of air temperature and wind speed. Trends and periodical components are defined for both time series with no significant statistical relationship between them. The spectral analysis of temperature series with no trends shows the peak frequency f c = 1/12, corresponding to a seasonal periodical component. The graph of the spectral density function of the wind speed time series does not manifest a seasonal periodic component. Forecasting of both time series is carried out using exponential smoothing with a moving average and an ARIMA model. Prediction for 2012 is computed using a multiplicative approach bases on Winters and ARIMA models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
