For example, Warsaw, Poland, experienced 2 m s −1 lower wind speed than the surrounding area throughout the year , and the annual mean difference in Berlin, Germany, was found to be 10-20% lower than the surroundings . The urban wind island effect largely occurs during the afternoon and appears to be caused by a combination of differences in the height of the atmospheric boundary layer between urban and rural environments, the roughness of the Earth’s surface at the location, and the difference in wind speeds between the boundary layer and the troposphere, which lies above it. �D Ѩ�` ��Cqp� ��@c6��h�@D7�D Found inside – Page 416Example 10.1 Using Rayleigh distribution and μ = 5.57 m/s, calculate the probability the wind speed is between 4 and 10 ...
