Add Wind Speed Correction Multiplier. **solved**

Post by bluegrassguitar »

It is generally accepted that wind speed measurements should be done at an anemometer height of 10 meters. For many, it is difficult to place an instrument at that height. A formula from Cumulus for correcting observed wind speed at actual height to approximate what it would be at 10 meters is
Comp.Factor= 1/(0.233 + 0.656*log10(h+4.75)). So, if my anemometer is placed 3 meters above ground, I could multiply my observed wind speed by 1.22 to approximate what it would be at the 10 meter standard height.

Could a wind speed compensation factor or multiplier be added to Meteobridge's set-up, as is now allowed for barometric pressure correction?

The ability to make this change and add a multiplier exists.

Both windspeeds wind0wind and wind0avgwind have been multiplied by 1.1 for my site.
