The practicability of a surface wind sensor (SWS) is examined by comparing the mean and fluctuating wind velocities obtained from this instrument with those measured by an omni-directional multi-channel anemometer (OMA) with a globe probe and a hot-wire anemometer (HWA) at pedestrian level on flat ground, around a high-rise building with a square plan and areas in an urban city. The surface wind sensor (SWS) used in this study is similar to one developed by Irwin.
It is found that this surface wind sensor (SWS) is applicable to measurement of wind velocity around high-rise buildings and areas in an urban city because the mean wind velocity and the gust factor obtained from the surface wind sensor (SWS) shows good agreement with those from the multi-channel anemometer (OMA) and the hot-wire anemometer (HWA).
