Abstract
Two dimensional linear interpolation to approximate wind speed and direction values for a specific location by using nearby known points can be a complicated or computationally intensive process when the number of points included in the calculation is a variable. By using the corrective smoothed particle hydrodynamic method (CSPM), the number of points included in the calculation can be easily increased or decreased to achieve more computationally efficient results at unknown points. This method is implemented to derive hurricane time histories from published H*Wind datasets or other regularly or irregularly distributed wind data for any desired location. This paper presents the CSPM methodology to interpolate data points and extract a wind hazard time history from published H*Wind datasets.
