Potential wind speed

From the measured wind speed and the local roughness length, the wind speed at the blending height is computed. This meso wind speed is  translated downwards to the potential wind speed at standard height and with standard roughness length. In this plot the measuring height and the standard height are both 10 m, the blending height is 60 m, the local roughness length is 0.5 m, and the standard roughness length is 0.03 m. The height transformations are done using the logarithmic wind speed profile.
