Hovering in zero wind you have the benefit of ground effect while stationary over the ground.

While taxing downwing at 10kts in 10kts of tail wind you have lost the ground effect due to the ground moving below you although you are in hovering in still air. Could this be more like OGE hovering rather than IGE hovering while still close to the ground and hence different power requirements?
