7.2.3 WindVector processing instruction

WindVector
The
direction, and standard deviation of the wind direction (optional) by using the measured wind
speed and direction samples.

7.3 Siting

Locate wind sensors away from obstructions such as trees or buildings. Generally, there should be
a horizontal distance of at least ten times the height of the obstruction between the wind
monitor and the obstruction. If the sensors need to be mounted on a roof, the height of the
sensors above the roof, should be at least 1.5 times the height of the building. See
16) for a list of references that discuss siting wind speed and direction sensors.
