Wind energy has substantial potential for future energy portfolios without having negative impacts on the environment. In developing nationwide and worldwide energy plans, understanding the spatio-temporal pattern of wind is crucial. We analyze wind vectors in the region of East Asia from the fifth-generation ECMWF atmospheric reanalysis. To model the wind vectors, we consider Tukey g-and-h transformation-based non-Gaussian processes, along with multivariate covariance functions. The proposed model can address non-Gaussian features and nonstationary dependence structures of wind vectors. In addition, a two-step inference scheme coupled with the composite likelihood method is applied to handle the computational issues posed by a large dataset. In the first step, we fit the temporal dependence structures of data with a location-specific non-Gaussian time series model. This allows us to remove substantial amounts of nonstationary variations in both space and time, and thus, relatively simple covariance models can handle large and complicated data in the second step. We show that the proposed method with a covariance structure reflecting the nonstationarity due to the latitude difference and the land\u2013ocean difference leads to better predictions for wind speed as well as wind potential, which is crucial for planning wind power generation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15112860","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,1]],"date-time":"2023-06-01T02:12:45Z","timestamp":1685585565000},"page":"2860","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Analysis of East Asia Wind Vectors Using Space\u2013Time Cross-Covariance Models"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4339-8197","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaehong","family":"Jeong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Hanyang University, Seoul 04763, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Research Institute for Natural Sciences, Hanyang University, Seoul 04763, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3556-1249","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Won","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Statistics and Data Science, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH 45221, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Edenhofer, O., Pichs-Madruga, R., Sokona, Y., Seyboth, K., Matschoss, P., Kadner, S., Zwickel, T., Eickemeier, P., Hansen, G., and Schl\u00f6mer, S.
