Abstract
An analysis of the distribution of hourly wind speeds for a typical southern Australian coastal site illustrates that mesoscale forcing dominates available wind energy during the summer. It contributes an equivalent amount of energy, on a mean monthly basis, during this time as synoptically driven systems do in the winter. Thus, within this region, the extension of site-specific observations to a regional wind assessment requires the incorporation of mesoscale influences.
