If you are using the wind speeds from your weather station that's nearby and has the same elevation, the wind speed profile exponent and boundary layer thickness have no effect, although you could still input them if you want. These only come into effect when the elevation of your site differs substantially from that of the weather station.

Hi All,
I built a small scale building on the roof of a six story building. My weather station is located near the small scale building. I need to use Site:WeatherStation to compare simulations and measurements.
Like it is located in the city, should I use 0.33 as wind speed profile exponent and 460 as wind speed profile boundary layer thickness ?
Does anyone have experience using a weather station and simulating?
Thank you very much,
Jose
