A comparison of tower influence on wind speed and direction measurements is presented for NASA's 150‐meter meteorological tower and for a one‐eighth scale wind tunnel model of that tower. Data for the comparison were obtained from a full‐scale tower program performed at the 150‐meter Meteorological Tower Facility at Kennedy Space Center, Florida, and from a wind tunnel program at the Langley Research Center, Virginia. The full‐scale test results are in agreement with the results obtained in the wind tunnel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
