Summary of Practice4.1 Siting of the Wind Sensors:4.1.1 The wind

23、 sensor location will be identified by anunambiguous label which will include either the longitude andlatitude with a resolution of1sofarc(about 30 m or less) ora station number which will lead to that information in thestation description file. When redundant sensors or microscalenetwork stations (

24、for example, airport runway sensors) areavailable, they will have individual labels which unambigu-ously identify the data they produce.4.1.2 The anemometer and wind vane shall be located at a10-m height above level or gently sloping terrain with an openfetch of at least 150 m in all directions, wit

25、h the largest fetchpossible in the prevailing wind direction. Compromise isfrequently recognized and acceptable for some sites. Obstaclesin the vicinity should be at least ten times their own heightdistant from the wind sensors.4.1.3 The wind sensors shall preferably be located on top ofa solitary m

26、ast. If side mounting is necessary, the boom lengthshould be at least three times the mast width. In the undesirablecase that locally no open terrain is available and the measure-ment is to be made above some building, then the wind sensorheight above the roof top should be at least 1.5 times the le

27、sserof the maximum building height and the maximum horizontaldimension of the major roof surface. In this case, the stationdescription file shall indicate the height above ground level(AGL) of the highest part of the building, the height of thewind sensors above ground, AGL, and the height of the wi

28、ndsensors above roof level. Site characteristics shall be docu-mented in sectors no greater than 45 nor smaller than 30 inwidth around the wind sensors. The near terrain may becharacterized with photographs, taken at wind sensor height ifpossible, aimed radially outward at labeled central angles, wi

29、threspect to true north.Average roughness of the nearest 3 km ofeach sector shall be characterized according to the roughnessclass as tabulated above (4). The z0numbers in Table 1 aretypical and not precise statements.4.1.4 Important terrain features at distances larger than 3 km(hills, cities, lake

30、s, and so forth, within 20 km) shall beidentified by sector and distance. Additional information, suchas aerial photographs, maps, and so forth, pertinent to the site,is recommended to be added to the basic site documentation.NOTE 2Cameras using 35-mm film in the landscape orientation willhave the f
