Abstract
In this work, the weather conditions and wind power in the eastern part of Saudi Arabia over a period of 36 years (1961-1996) are studied and modelled . The study involves temperature, relative humidity, fog, wind speed, wind power and dust storms. A regression analysis is carried out by using the li near regression technique to model the weather parameters. The models devel oped can be used in any study related to weather and its effect on the envi ronment and energy. Copyright (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
