1. Discrepancies between changes in
mean wind speed from ED and
from DD.
Introduction
Data
Methods
Results
Discussion
The problem is not resolved. Sites that
exhibit largest decrease in mean wind
speeds for 2071-2100 show the smallest
increase in the DD. Sites with the largest
discrepancies are not characterized by lower
quality Weibull fit, but they are located in
general in regions of relatively complex
terrain and land cover heterogeneity.

2. This method can be applied to
other geophysical variables. It could
be applicable too, to any temporal
window for which stable probability
distribution can be derived.
Even for long time series of “stable”
probability distributions of the wind, our
domain present a very complex and
heterogenic terrain  probability distribution
of the wind on some stations canot be
explained by the Weibull variables
