Dans les stations météorologiques la vitesse du vent est relevée à dix mètres au-dessus du sol afin de dégager au mieux cette mesure des effets perturbants de la rugosité de surface. Pour les besoins agricoles, et en particulier pour le calcul de l'évapotranspiration potentielle, on mesure fréquemment cette vitesse à deux mètres au-dessus du sol, niveau plus proche de celui de la végétation. On peut passer d'un de ces niveaux à l'autre par un ajustement basé sur le profil logarithmique de variation de la vitesse moyenne du vent en fonction de la hauteur h au-dessus du sol (formule d'Hellman) [...] 1, record 1, French, - profil%20logarithmique
