following on from yesterday's post, here's the data from the first 24 hours from the four anemometers at the Raymaker Field Studies Centre at Norma.
just to give you an orientation, i have arranged the four wind roses to approximately correspond with the respective locations (when viewed against a Cartesian north-south-east-west grid) of the anemometers at the Field Studies Centre.
that is to say, the two wind roses in the top row are nearest the crater of the Dante volcano, on its southern / southwestern flank. the wind rose at the top right shows data from an anemometer which is thirty metres higher than its counterpart (as can be seen from the x, y, and z coordinates).
the wind rose at the bottom left shows data from the anemometer which is closest of the four to sea level.
from the data, one tentative conclusion that might be drawn might be that the presence of the crater would indeed appear to have a blocking effect on wind, and that this blocking effect decreases with altitude.
