Abstract
A method is presented for extrapolation of extreme wind speed data from a quality meteorological station to a site with upstream terrain features different from those of the observational site.
The process of correcting wind data for the influence of local topography is outlined, and a description is given for the vertical and horizontal extrapolation of the measured wind data. In order to verify the applicability of the method, a case study is presented where extreme wind speed data has been extrapolated from two quality meteorological stations to the same site of interest, a horizontal extrapolation of 5 km and 100 km, respectively.
