The characteristics of the basic statistics and steadiness of wind and the monthly normality test of surface wind distribution are investigated by using the observed wind data compiled from 10m meteorological observation tower at Seocheon district, where is located In the western coastal region of Korea. during the period from Feb. 7, 1996 to Feb. 7 1997 The northerly is appeared to be even in August and Sepember due to the influences of loccal circulation such as land and sea breeze. The correlation coefacients between two wind components are seemed to be positive during the in the period of from June to September and negative from October to April, respectively The constancy of wand Is high In shifts to lower values Increasing sampling time. It is found from monthly normality test based on the skewness and the excess of kurtosis coefficients that the distribution of zonal wind component is normal In spring and meridional one Is normal in late summer and early autumn.
