Beta angle used to rotate the
wind when the mean horizontal
wind is blowing from the sector
of 190 to 300 degrees in the
sonic coordinate system (wind
blowing from right and behind
sonic head).

z
The upwind distance of interest
from the station when the mean
horizontal wind is blowing from
the sector of 0 to 60 and 300 to
360 degrees in the sonic
coordinate system (wind blowing
into sonic head).
Note: The program will report
the percentage of cumulative
footprint from within this
distance. The default value is
100 times the aerodynamic
height,
z
. Recall that
z
is the
difference between the
measurement height and
displacement height.
