Wind Speed at Standard 10-m Reference Level Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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.
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.
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: 4 Meter per Second --> 4 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

V₁₀ = U*(10/Z)^(1/7) --> 4*(10/8)^(1/7)

Evaluating ... ...

V₁₀ = 4.12956473884001

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.12956473884001 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

4.12956473884001 ≈ 4.129565 Meter per Second <-- Wind Speed at Height of 10 m

What is 10m Wind Speed?

Surface wind is the wind blowing near the Earth's surface. The wind 10m chart displays the modelled 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 modelled 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.

How to Calculate Wind Speed at Standard 10-m Reference Level?

Wind Speed at Standard 10-m Reference Level calculator uses Wind Speed at Height of 10 m = Wind Speed*(10/Height z above Surface)^(1/7) to calculate the Wind Speed at Height of 10 m, The Wind Speed at Standard 10-m Reference Level formula is defined as it describes how fast the air is moving past a certain point. This may be averaged over a given unit of time, such as miles per hour, or an instantaneous speed, which is reported as a peak wind speed, wind gust or squall. Wind Speed at Height of 10 m is denoted by V₁₀ symbol.

How to calculate Wind Speed at Standard 10-m Reference Level using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Wind Speed at Standard 10-m Reference Level, enter Wind Speed (U) & Height z above Surface (Z) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Wind Speed at Standard 10-m Reference Level calculation can be explained with given input values -> 4.129565 = 4*(10/8)^(1/7).

FAQ

What is Wind Speed at Standard 10-m Reference Level?

The Wind Speed at Standard 10-m Reference Level formula is defined as it describes how fast the air is moving past a certain point. This may be averaged over a given unit of time, such as miles per hour, or an instantaneous speed, which is reported as a peak wind speed, wind gust or squall and is represented as V₁₀ = U*(10/Z)^(1/7) or Wind Speed at Height of 10 m = Wind Speed*(10/Height z above Surface)^(1/7). Wind Speed is a fundamental atmospheric quantity caused by air moving from high to low pressure, usually due to changes in temperature & Height z above Surface where the Wind Speed is measured.

How to calculate Wind Speed at Standard 10-m Reference Level?
