Statistical models for surface-wind predictions at a mountain and a valley station near Anderson Creek, California, have been constructed. It is found that the surface wind speed depends primarily on the slope wind, cross-isobaric angle, surface thermal stability and geostrophic wind. The correlations between the calculated and observed surface wind speeds are found to be high for all time periods of the day and night.
