We give an exploratory analysis of daily 10 meter wind speed averages for all weather stations in Alberta, Canada with observations from January 2008 to May 2019. The data is provided by the Alberta Climate Information Service (ACIS), Alberta Agriculture and Forestry. Our goal is to categorize the wind patterns in Alberta for the purpose of incorporating this knowledge into spatiotemporal modeling of wind across Alberta. We aim to identify the relationship between prevalent wind directions, geographical locations and seasons. We use seasonal clustering to identify stations with similar statistical properties. The linkage criterion between two sites is based on the Euclidean distance of the two-dimensional moments of their wind speed distributions. We identify four types of behavior emerging through the year, and give a seasonal summary of each behavior. We interpret the wind behaviors in terms of the terrain.

我们利用 2008 年 1 月至 2019 年 5 月的观测对加拿大艾伯塔省所有气象站的每日 10 米风速平均值进行了探索性分析。数据由艾伯塔省气候信息服务 (ACIS)、艾伯塔省农业和林业部门提供。我们的目标是对艾伯塔省的风模式进行分类，以便将这些知识整合到艾伯塔省风的时空建模中。我们的目标是确定流行风向、地理位置和季节之间的关系。我们使用季节性聚类来识别具有相似统计特性的站点。两个站点之间的联系标准基于其风速分布的二维矩的欧几里得距离。我们确定了全年出现的四种行为类型，并给出每个行为的季节性总结。我们根据地形来解释风的行为。
