Simplified upwind propagation model for
wind turbines
Model description by Birger Plovsing and Jørgen Jakobsen (based on manuscript to be
submitted to Noise Control Engineering Journal)
Input parameters

: wind speed component 10 m above ground in the direction of propagation (m/s), negative
values in upwind
Fixed model parameters (cannot be changed)
