Great article! Does this also apply to other variables like wind speed or wind direction, where there's no such a simple gradient with height? I guess it's better to take the nearest grid cell for these to get the most accurate values?
Hi. No corrections are applied to wind speed or direction. This would require more complex fluid dynamics calculations which is by itself a highly specialised field. For consistency, the same grid-cell is used as for temperature or any other weather variable.
