A mathematical model is developed to estimate rain-induced errors in cup anemometer readings. Based upon a two-cup hemispheric model, the indicated wind speed is calculated for a given true wind speed, fall velocities of the drops, and a general drop-size distribution. The results of these computat

It is shown that the ratio of standard deviation of lateral velocity to the friction velocity, o;/u,, and therefore wind direction fluctuations, are sensitive to mesoscale terrain properties. Under neutral conditions, a,/~, is almost 40% larger in rolling terrain than over a horizontal surface. In
## Abstract Results of our recent investigation of spectral measurements of wind velocity in the surface layer are analysed in light of the hypothesis proposed by Kaimal __et al.__ (1972). It is confirmed that in the inertial subrange the spectra for all the three components and varying stability c
The content of this article is a contribution to the limited amount of available strong-wind multilevel tower observations in the atmospheric surface layer, and is primarily intended for those engineers and scientists engaged in the field of wind engineering. The observations were used to evaluate t
