Abstract

The mean wind velocity profile obtained using wind velocities measured by Doppler SODAR at Iksan City Hall area are analyzed. Wind velocities are measured at a total of twelve levels, at 20-meter intervals from 39.4 meters to 259.4 meters, and are averaged for ten minutes. Also, the occurrence frequency of wind velocity by wind direction is estimated. The area of Iksan City Hall corresponds to exposure B according to Korean Building Code. The mean wind velocity profile and the power law exponent at Iksan City Hall area are estimated using data measured by Doppler SODAR and are compared with those of Korean Building Code. It was found from the study that wind velocities obtained from Doppler SODAR were 0.1m/s to 0.5m/s larger than those from Korean Building Code above about 80 meters from ground.
