Vertical wind shear occurs when wind speed varies at different heights above the ground. Wind

In the study of vertical wind shear, the formula is sometimes used, where P is a variable that depends on the terrain and structures near ground level. In Montreal, the average daytime value for P with north winds over 29 was determined to be 0.13. If a 32 north wind is measured 20 feet above the ground, approximate the average wind shear (see Exercise 67) between 20 feet and 200 feet.
