The estim<strong>at</strong>ed Weibull distribution based on the sonic u–component measurements is<br />
(A=10.6 m/s, k=2.42, U= 9.36 m/s), and Figure 3.1 shows th<strong>at</strong> the wind speed range 5–<br />
25 m/s is represented very well. The component turbulence intensity including standard<br />
devi<strong>at</strong>ion is shown as a function of sonic speed on Figure 3.1, and the average<br />
turbulence is listed in Table 3.2. The turbulence intensity increases as expected for an<br />
offshore site, due to increased wave height.<br />
