WIND HORIZONTAL MAPS AT GROUND LEVEL

Wind horizontal map extended on a 10km x 10km square centered on LBT (represented with a black dot) calculated at the first physical grid point of the model (i.e. ~ [0-17]m a.g.l.).
In Fig. 1, an animation with a temporal evolution of 1-hour steps in the [dusk,dawn] time frame is shown.
In Fig. 2, an average over the [dusk-dawn] time frame is shown.
In Fig. 3-5, wind speed averages are computed in the first, central and last part of the night (see partition).
The black iso-lines represent the heights of the Digital Elevation Model (DEM).
Arrow directions represent local wind direction, while color scale and arrow length (the scale is portrayed on top right) represent the wind speed.
