In the study, data on wind speed and direction from the wind data collection tower in Ciężkowice for over a 2-year period (from June 2008 to May 2010) were used. Wind speed was measured at two heights, 10 and 40 m a.g.l. The location selected for this analysis is an upland landscape, typical of this part of Poland. Average wind direction at 40 m a.g.l. was deflected by 11° to the right. The studies revealed the influence of local conditions on wind speed and direction in Ciężkowice. Also shown is a domination of wind from the southern and western sectors at both heights.polinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesswind directionCiężkowice plateauvertical wind profileArtykułhttps://doi.org/10.14746/bfg.2015.6.6
