Model Validation

[Dhanraj]

I have two sets of wind measurements; 40m and 10m. I used the 40m in the wind flow model because at 10m there are errors in the wind vane date and water tanks at 4.32m (~30m from the wind mast) and 7.3m (~67.5m from the wind mast). So, at 10m these tanks are sheltering obstacles.

What model validation procedure would you recommend?


Thank you.

Dear Dhanraj,
If there is errors in the 10 m master plus nearby obstacles I would use the 40 m height, because it will be much less sensitive to the local roughness. I don't think you can do a model validation (I assume you mean fitting the profile to the measurements) with such a data set.
