At some airfields the surface wind is measured about 30' above the ground .....
Now that is one of those glaringly obvious facts, that I should have taken into account, but which I had never even thought about
Presumably, the measurement is at the actual height of the airfield's anonometer (spelling?) and not corrected for height? Perhaps one of the Ppruners in ATC can confirm this, please.
At many smaller airfields. the anonometer is also not very close to the runways. (Often seems to be nearer the control tower). Or, does not give a very true reading, as it is in the lee of a hangar, or trees.
At Lydd on Saturday am, they were using runway 04, with the wind 330/10G15 (if I recall correctly)
