Abstract

In this paper it is shown a process to demarcate

areas with analogous wind conditions. For this purpose a

dispersion graph between wind directions will be traced for all

stations placed in the studied zone. These distributions will be

compared among themselves using the hierarchical clustering

algorithm. This information will be used to build a matrix,

letting us work with all relations simultaneously. By

permutation of elements in this matrix it is possible to group

relationed stations.
