Climate Forte Aviation Weather Data Layers - Definitions and Calculations
| Low Level Altitudes/Aviation | Definition | Calculations |
|---|---|---|
| Low level winds (0-300m) | Winds very close to the ground, directly influenced by surface friction, terrain, and land-use features. Units m/sec | U(z)=(u*/k) X ln(z/z0), u* is the friction velocity, Z0 is the surface roughness lenght. |
| Vertical velocity | Vertical velocity in meteorology usually refers to the vertical motion of air (updrafts or downdrafts). Units Pa/sec | NA |
