Popis: The forces and moments acting on a marine vessel caused by the wind are most often modeled based on its speed measured at a standard 10 m above the sea level. There exist numerous well-known methods for modeling wind speed in such conditions. These models, by nature, are inadequate for simulating wind disturbances for free-running scale ship models sailing on lakes. Such scale models are being used increasingly for design and testing modern ship motion control systems. The paper describes the hardware and methodology used in measuring wind speed at low altitudes above the lake level. The system consists of two ultrasonic anemometers supplemented with wave sensor acting as a capacitor immersed partially in the water. Obtained measurement results show clear similarity to the values gathered during full-scale experiments. Analysis of the power spectral density functions of turbulence measured for different mean wind speeds over the lake, indicates that, at the present stage of research, the best model of wind turbulence at low altitude above the lake level can be obtained by assembling four of the known, standard turbulence models.
