• It is recommended that wind speed be measured as close to the surface as possible. The height and location where wind speed is measured is important since it varies significantly with height and proximity to obstacles. However, the weather information provided by local weather stations may be used as a reasonable estimate. The user should recognize that the Weather Bureau generally measures the wind speed approximately 10 feet (or more) above the ground.
