Irwin, J. A THEORETICAL VARIATION OF THE WIND PROFILE POWER-LAW EXPONENT AS A FUNCTION OF SURFACE ROUGHNESS AND STABILITY. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/J-79/018 (NTIS PB298520).
Description:
The variation of the wind profile power-law exponent with respect to changes in surface roughness and atmospheric stability is depicted using the formulation of Nickerson and Smiley for specifying the vertical variations of the horizontal wind. The theoretical estimates of the power-law exponent compare favorably with power-law exponent data from various sources.
