Linearity versus non-linearity in high frequency multilevel wind time series measured in urban areas

Fabian Guignard, Dasaraden Mauree, Mohamed Laib

In this paper, high frequency wind time series measured at different heights from the ground (from 5.5 to 25.5 meters) in an urban area were investigated. The spectrum of each series is characterized by a power-law behaviour at low frequency range, with a ...
