This study used a quantile regression model and a non-homogeneous regression model to calibrate probabilistic forecasts of wind speed. These techniques were applied to the forecasts of wind speed over Pyeongchang area using 51-member European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast (ECMWF).Reliability analysis was carried out by using rank histogram to identify the statistical consistency of ensemble forecasts and corresponding observations. The performances were evaluated by rank histogram, mean absolute error, root mean square error and continuous ranked probability score. The results showed that the forecasts of quantile regression and non-homogeneous regression models performed better than the raw ensemble forecasts. However, the differences of prediction skills between quantile regression and nonhomogeneous regression models were insignificant.
