SURFACE WIND — SITING
(a) Reported surface wind should be
representative of a wind at a height of 30 ± 3 ft
(10 ± 1 m) above the ground.
(b) Representative surface wind observations
should be obtained by the use of sensors appropriately sited.
(c) Sensors for surface wind observations for
local routine report and local special report should be sited to give the best
practicable indication of conditions along the runway and touchdown zones.
(d) At aerodromes where topography or
prevalent weather conditions cause significant differences in surface wind at
various sections of the runway, additional sensors should be provided.
