The problem was to devise a simulation method for the wind speeds at a set of sites, that has the correct autocorrelation, cross-correlation and distributions. The report includes one way of doing this, using a mul- tivariate auto-regressive system, and other comments and observations that may lead to better ways of achieving the aim.
