Summary of Practice4.1 Siting of the Wind Sensors:4.1.1 The wind sensor location will be identified by anunambiguous label which will include either the longitude andlatitude with a resolution of1sofarc(a

26、bout 30 m or less) ora station number which will lead to that information in thestation description file. When redundant sensors or microscalenetwork stations (for example, airport runway sensors) areavailable, they will have individual labels which unambigu-ously identify the data they produce.4.1.

27、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, with the largest fetchpossible in the prevailing wind direction. Compromise isfrequently recognized and acceptable for some sites. Obstaclesin

28、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 mast. If side mounting is necessary, the boom lengthshould be at least three times the mast width. In the undesirablecase that locally no ope

29、n 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 lesserof the maximum building height and the maximum horizontaldimension of the major roof surface. In this case, the stationdescription file

30、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 windsensors above roof level. Site characteristics shall be docu-mented in sectors no greater than 45 degrees nor smaller than30 degrees in wi

31、dth around the wind sensors. The near terrainmay be characterized with photographs, taken at wind sensorheight if possible, aimed radially outward at labeled centralangles, with respect to true north. Average roughness of thenearest 3 km of each sector shall be characterized according tothe roughnes

32、s class as tabulated above (4). The z0numbers inTable 1 are typical and not precise statements.4.1.4 Important terrain features at distances larger than 3 km(hills, cities, lakes, and so forth, within 20 km) shall beidentified by sector and distance. Additional information, suchas aerial photographs

33、, 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 following theoretical focal length to field angle relationships:50 mm yields 4040 mm yields 4828 mm yields 66Prints or trans

34、parencies may not utilize the total theoretical width of theimage. It is desirable to label known angles in the photograph. Forexample, a 45 sector photograph could have a central label of 360 withmarker flags located at 337.5 and 022.5 true.4.2 Characteristics of the Wind SystemsThere are twocatego
