Kutzbach reports wind profiles over a series of roughness elements on a frozen lake and how the wind profile changed as the surface roughness was varied. The approach of the current study was to duplicate Kutzbach's roughness arrays in the wind tunnel at 1/20 and 1/40 scales, and to compare the wind profiles over these scale models to those derived by Kutzbach at full scale in the field. The effects of scale differences and data reduction techniques are discussed. Although the study suggests that wind tunnel scale models can predict parameters measured in the field, the development of more definitive guidelines requires a field experiment designed specifically for comparison with wind tunnel results.
