Zmiany kierunku wiatru wraz z wysokością w Ciężkowicach

Abstract

The aim of this paper is the investigation of vertical wind direction changes in Ciężkowice. In the study, data on wind speed and direction from the wind data collection tower in Ciężkowice for over a 2-year period (from June 2008 to May 2010) were used. Wind speed was measured at two heights, 10 and 40 m a.g.l. The location selected for this analysis is an upland landscape, typical of this part of Poland. Average wind direction at 40 m a.g.l. was deflected by 11° to the right. The studies revealed the influence of local conditions on wind speed and direction in Ciężkowice. Also shown is a domination of wind from the southern and western sectors at both heights.
