K. At the ground the wind is zero; aloft it approaches the geostrophic speedG, backing (NH) or veering (SH) with height. See Holton, An Introduction to Dynamic Meteorology. - LogProfile
- Log-law boundary layer:
u(z) = u_ref · ln(z/z0) / ln(z_ref/z0)forz > z0, zero below the roughness lengthz0. Direction is constant with height.
