Open publisher page 7 citations

Abstract

Results of measurements of mean wind speed profiles and direction during two years in the center of the city of Moscow are presented. These measurements were performed with a Doppler acoustic profiler (sodar), which was used for continuous monitoring of the wind speed within the height range from 40 to 250–500 m. The averaged seasonal mean profiles are presented along with other observational data, including diurnal cycle parameters, wind speed and direction frequencies at chosen levels, and frequencies and duration of strong winds and calm weather.
