Wind Speed at Height z above Surface given Standard Reference Wind Speed Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Wind Speed = Wind Speed at Height of 10 m/(10/Height z above Surface)^(1/7)
U = V₁₀/(10/Z)^(1/7)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Wind Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Wind Speed is a fundamental atmospheric quantity caused by air moving from high to low pressure, usually due to changes in temperature.
Wind Speed at Height of 10 m - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Wind Speed at Height of 10 m is the ten-meter wind speed measured ten meters above the top of the datum of consideration.
Height z above Surface - (Measured in Meter) - Height z above Surface where the Wind Speed is measured.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wind Speed at Height of 10 m: 22 Meter per Second --> 22 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Height z above Surface: 8 Meter --> 8 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

U = V₁₀/(10/Z)^(1/7) --> 22/(10/8)^(1/7)

Evaluating ... ...

U = 21.3097518903939

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

21.3097518903939 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

21.3097518903939 ≈ 21.30975 Meter per Second <-- Wind Speed

What is 10m wind?

Surface wind is the wind blowing near the Earth's surface. The wind 10m chart displays the modeled average wind vector in 10 m above the ground for every grid point of the model (ca. every 80 km). Generally the actual observed wind velocity at 10 m above ground is a little bit lower than the modeled one.

What is Friction Velocity?

Shear velocity, also called friction velocity, is a form by which shear stress may be rewritten in units of velocity. It is useful as a method in fluid mechanics to compare true velocities, such as the velocity of a flow in a stream, to a velocity that relates shear between layers of flow.
