Abstract

In this chapter, we elaborate on several similarity theory-based and empirical wind speed profile formulations. We highlight their strengths and weaknesses through various examples from the literature. Some of these formulations are sometimes inappropriately used in various practical applications (e.g., offshore wind resource assessments). We provide guidance in their proper usage.
