Velocity profile: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 01:22, 29 March 2024

The variation of horizontal wind speed and direction (
or of horizontal components of wind) with height such as would be measured with a sounding.
The equations describing the variation of wind with height.
A classic example is the logarithmic wind speed profile in the surface layer of the atmospheric boundary layer.
Compare shear.
See velocity distribution.
