Wind Measurement
Allow sufficient clearance for the wind sensors, that is, the station
should not be located next to a building or any other object that might
affect the airflow. Refer to Figure 29 below and Figure 30 on page 43
that provide general guidelines for the mast location.

Figure 29
Recommended Mast Location in Open Area
In general, there should be at least 150 m (
≈
500 ft.) open area to all
directions from the mast. The minimum distance between the mast
and obstacles is ten times the height of an obstacle. Refer to Figure 29
above.
The recommended minimum length (h in Figure 30 on page 43) for
the mast that is installed on top of a building is 1.5 times the height of
the building (H). When the diagonal (W) is less than the height (H),
the minimum length of the mast is 1.5 times W.
