Abstract

This research focuses on quantifying the effect of humidity fluxes on stability corrected wind speed profiles. The effect on wind speed profiles is found to be important in only stable conditions where including humidity fluxes forces conditions towards neutral. Excluding humidity fluxes leads to over-estimation of the wind speed profile at 150 m by approximately 5%.
