This study suggests an algorithm for generating TMY(typical meteorological year) for the Korean peninsula, and generates the TMY based on the algorithm using 11 years(1998~2008) wind data observed at 77 sites of Regional Meteorological Offices(RMO). The algorithm consists of computing TMM scores based on the various statistics defined by the Fikenstein-Shafer statistical model and, in turn, generating TMY based on the TMM scores. Also the algorithm has two stages designed to yield the best representation of the regional wind characteristics appeared during the 11 years(1998~2008). The first stage is designed for the representation of each of 77 regions of RMO and the second is for the Korean peninsula. Various comparison studies are provided to demonstrate the properties of the TMY like its utility and typicality.
