Wind velocities at positions within an environment are predicted using stochastic models that consider average wind flows at the various positions and calculate random components of the wind flows (e.g., due to gusts) according to autoregressive functions. One or more time series of wind velocity obtained from any sources may be identified, and distribution functions are fit to the time series. A copula or another multivariate cumulative distribution function determined from a correlation matrix and the distribution functions is used to generate coefficients of the autoregressive functions. Wind velocities at the positions are modeled from the average wind flows and the calculated random components. Decisions on safety or reliability of aerial vehicles for performing missions within the environment are determined from the wind velocities.
