Question

1. Use wind speed acquired data in MS Excel format (attached in separate file). Each data point represents a count of "pulses" during 10 seconds interval. To fine average wind speed during that 10-second interval, you need to divide number of pulses by 10 seconds that multiply it by scaling factor of 2.5. Thus, each data point n will become n*2.5/10 and it will represent average wind speed for those 10 seconds (wind speed in mph). That is the first transformation needed. Once that is completed, plot it and see the variation in wind speeds on wind speed plot. This data was taken with handheld anemometer at height of 6 feet. Since we are interested at wind speeds at 30feet height, use log law to transform these data points to that height of 30 feet. Assume it was taken over class 1 roughness terrain.
