Noise and vibration from building-mounted micro wind turbines part 3 : prediction methodology (2011)
Report
part 3 : prediction methodology

This brief report describes a simplified method for estimation of levels of structure-borne sound in buildings to which a micro-wind turbine (MWT) is attached. The method is applicable to two specific designs of MWT, each for three lengths of moun...

Coded signals: a challenge for acoustic wind profiling (2008)
Presentation / Conference
von Hünerbein, S., & Bradley, S. (2008, November). Coded signals: a challenge for acoustic wind profiling. Presented at 156th Meeting: Acoustical Society of America, Miami, FL, USA

Use of coded signals for acoustic wind profiling presents special challenges because the scattering mechanism is highly bandwidth sensitive. We outline the physical principles involved and show that the signal coding methods commonly used for underwa... Read More about Coded signals: a challenge for acoustic wind profiling.

Relating urban boundary layer structure to upwind terrain for the Salfex campaign (2008)
Journal Article
Barlow, J., Rooney, G., von Hünerbein, S., & Bradley, S. (2008). Relating urban boundary layer structure to upwind terrain for the Salfex campaign. Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 127(2), 173-191. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10546-007-9261-y

Profiles of wind and turbulence over an urban area evolve with fetch in response to surface characteristics. Sodar measurements, taken on 22nd April 2002 during the Salfex campaign, are here related to upstream terrain. A logarithmic layer up to z=65...

Sound speed profile structure and variability measured over flat terrain (2006)
Presentation / Conference
Waddington, D., von Hünerbein, S., & Bradley, S. (2006, July). Sound speed profile structure and variability measured over flat terrain. Presented at 13th International Conference on Sound and Vibration, Vienna, Austria

This paper describes a fundamental data base and data-variability guide for outdoor sound propagation models requiring sound speed profiles. The vertical sound speed profile has been measured directly over an extended period at a flat terrain site an...
