Wind speed distribution changes with height at selected weather stations. [USA]

OSTI ID:6677589
Ten-year records of hourly wind speed observations at 15 selected weather stations have been smoothed to correct for observer bias. Records were adjusted to a constant, final anemometer height over level airfield terrain at nine stations where the anemometer was moved during the period of record. The anemometer adjustment scheme is described for each location, since the anemometer exposure change and date of change were unique for each location. Finally, wind speed distribution curves and tables of synthesized time series at final anemometer height and at 10 m, 20 m, and 50 m above ground have been prepared. These homogenized series should be useful for various analyses of wind power systems.
