Investigation of exposure correction models for wind speed measurements

Considerable errors may be introduced in storm intensity estimations and their subsequent applications if raw surface wind speed records are not corrected to properly account for exposure effects. This study investigates the calculation of correction factors ( ECFs $$ \mathrm{ECFs} ) by different theoretical code-based models. Estimation roughness length z 0 {z}_0 based on suitable gustiness model is provided, as this metric involved calculating . The sensitivity estimation input parameters analysed. A comprehensive evaluation ECF \mathrm{ECF} models made, which includes World Meteorological Organization (WMO) with various blending heights b {z}_{\mathrm{b}} , Biétry model, power-law Engineering Sciences Data Unit Chinese, Japanese, Eurocode International Standardization codes, well combination WMO formula two (He Ashcroft model) respectively. It found that most appropriate practice provided combined application He a height, 80 m {z}_{\mathrm{b}},\mathrm{of}\kern1.00em 80\mathrm{m}
