Modelling of low-rise structures in the boundary-layer wind tunnel requires that the investigator focus on the lowest 100 m of the atmospheric boundary layer; the atmospheric surface layer (ASL). Most of the key flow properties in this lowest portion of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) have been successfully modelled in the wind tunnel for some time. However, this work demonstrates that two additional open-terrain flow properties may also be modelled with the wind tunnel: (i) the vertical distribution of Reynolds shear stress and; (ii) the lateral fluctuations of wind velocity and their power spectra.
