Table 2 Results of the Mann–Kendall (MK) and least squares linear regression (LSLR) test of the mean wind speed at Tsetang, Lhasa and Nyêmo stations.

From: Inter- and intra-annual wind speed variabilities in wide valley regions of the middle reaches of the Yarlung Tsangpo River, China

  1. The study periods for Tsetang, Lhasa and Nyêmo stations are 1960–2015, 1960–2015 and 1974–2015. Values in italics denote the tendency were failed pass significant at 0.05 confidence level. The variables Z and T are the statistics of MK test and LSLR test, respectively. b is the Sen’s slope of MK test, while m is the slope of the estimated linear relationship; both of the unit is m/(s·decade). Values in italic and bold and in bold represent the correlation coefficient were statistically significant at 0.01 and 0.05 confidence level, respectively. The colors marked in table indicate the maximal slope value in seasons/months.
