The wind speed and direction are used to determine the window for averaging values around a cell. Commonly, the values at a reference weather station are used. In calculations with a low wind speed, an cell-centered averaging window is used. For high wind speeds, an oblong averaging window is used, offsetting the cell along the wind direction.

Wind speed:

  • < 1.5 meter per second, the window is square and cell centered
  • >= 1.5 meters per second, the window is oblong and offset toward the wind direction to account for wind effects.

The averaging windows are described below:

Window Model Low wind speeds High wind speeds
Large window
700x700 meters, cell-centered
1100x500 meters, centered at 1000x250x100x250
Small window
  • Wind speed, based on the wind direction and wind speed parameters configured for the overlay.
175x175 meters, cell-centered
280x140 meters, centered at 210x70x70x70
