Data bases of aerological wind observations for industrial and civil construction

Abstract

Abstract. Due to extensive construction of high-rise buildings and structures, wind load calculations are becoming more and more important. These calculations require availability of credible wind data at the altitude of the atmospheric boundary layer and associated databases. This work is devoted to development of a framework for such databases, aimed at solution of various wind engineering tasks. Main principles for wind aerological observation database development for industrial and civil construction were established. Examples of wind characteristics and atmospheric dispersion characteristics are provided on the basis of radiosonde and SODAR/RASS observations. Prospects for development of similar databases for atmosphere pollution monitoring, wind power engineering, aviation are reported.
