Abstract
The efficiency of a mass consistent model for wind field adjustment depends on several parameters that arise in various stages of the process. First, those involved in the construction of the initial wind field using horizontal interpolation and vertical extrapolation of the wind measures registered at meteorological stations. On the other hand, the Gauss precision moduli which allow from a strictly horizontal wind adjustment to a pure vertical one. In general, the values of all of these parameters are based on empirical laws. The main goal of this work is the estimation of these parameters using genetic algorithms, such that the wind velocities observed at the measurement station are regenerated as much as possible by the model.
