The [[Wind_speed_(Heat_Overlay)|wind speed]] and [[Wind_direction_(Heat_Overlay)|direction]], measured at a weather station, are used to determine the window for averaging values around a cell.

In calculations with a high wind speed, an oblong rectangle is used for averaging, with the cell in question offset towards the far side along the line of the wind direction.
If the wind speed is:
* < 1.5 meter per second, the window is cell centered: 700x700 meters;
* >= 1.5 meter per second, the window is 1100 x 500 meters, centered at 1000 x 250 x 100 x 250, where the long edge 1000 is opposite of the wind direction.

The following parameters are averaged by this window:
Wind speed:
* Vegetation fraction, based on the fraction [[Vegetation fraction (Heat Overlay)|green/vegetation]] present in Buildings and Terrains;
* < 1.5 meter per second, the window is square and cell centered
* Sky view factor, calculated by the [[Sky view factor calculation model (Heat Overlay)|Sky view factor calculation model]];
* >= 1.5 meter per second, the window is oblong.

The wind speed and direction, measured at a weather station, are used to determine the window for averaging values around a cell. In calculations with a low wind speed, an cell-centered averaging window is used. In calculations with a high wind speed, an oblong rectangle is used for averaging, with the cell in question offset towards the far side along the line of the wind direction.

Wind speed:

  • < 1.5 meter per second, the window is square and cell centered
  • >= 1.5 meter per second, the window is oblong.
