coincide. As shown in Figure
9,
the shape parameter across Iceland varies between 1.2 and 3.6, with the highest values, indicative
of normal distributions, in winter and at high elevations.
Mean wind speed is related to the shape parameter, k, through the gamma function with argument
x = 1+1=k (see (2)). However, despite its spatial range of values, the effect of the shape parameter
on mean wind speed
