A Field Measurement Based Wind Characteristics Analysis of a Typhoon in Near-Ground Boundary Layer

A Field Measurement Based Wind Characteristics Analysis of a Typhoon in Near-Ground Boundary Layer

The field measurement was conducted to observe the wind field data of West Pacific typhoon “Maria” in this research. With the application of ultrasonic anemometers installed in different heights (10 m, 80 m, 100 m) of the tower, the three dimensional wind speed data of typhoon “Maria” was acquired....
