Inputs:
Conversions:
| weather station wind speed (u0) | = | 0 | = | 0 | meter/second | |
| elevation (h) | = | 0 | = | 0 | meter | |
| weather station elevation (h0) | = | 0 | = | 0 | meter | |
| stability parameter (n) | = | 0 | = | 0 |
Solution:
| wind speed at elevation (u) | = | HAS NOT BEEN CALCULATED |
