Design Wind Analysis,

Abstract

Provides a comprehensive literature review on methods of design wind analysis. The report notes that there is no 'best way) to raise winds from one level to another, pointing out that meteorologists and engineers have separate preferences. Notes also that while one method may work well for one investigation, it may result in false conclusions when used for another. Keywords: Wind, Wing Speed, Wind velocity, Meteorology, Engineering meteorology, Micrometeorology, Power law, Log wind profile, and Diabatic wind profile.
