Individual

from
Organizations
Areas
between
the
west
side
of
the
grid
and
the
shoreline
were
not
measured
at
regularly
spaced
points
covering
a
wide
area,
nor
was
it
necessary
to
do
so
in
order
to
describe
the
effects
of
Project
Site
development.
To
characterize
the
relative
wind
speeds
over
the
transition
from
the
land
surface
to
the
grid,
a
series
of
measurements
of
wind
speed
were
made
along
a
2000
scale-foot
east-west
transect
that
included
the
Baylands
site
and
the
Bay.
These
show
the
differences
in
wind
speed
between
the
land
and
the
“wind
shadow”
area
at
the
shore,
as
well
as
the
recovering
wind
speed
found
at
the
east
end
of
the
“wind
shadow”
area,
approximately
1,100
feet
from
the
shoreline.
The
lowest
wind
speed
was
recorded
in
the
region
from
the
shoreline
west
to
at
least
750
feet
from
the
shore.
This
is
discussed
in
in
more
detail
See
also
the
discussion
of
wind
sailing
areas
provided
in
that
Master
Response.
As
described
and
again
in
Response
it
is
not
necessary
to
measure
at
many
points
to
accurately
characterize
the
wind
speed
and
turbulence
in
and
around
the
sailing
area.
Once
the
wind
has
been
slowed
by
passing
over
a
rough
surface
such
as
the
landforms
resulting
from
Project
Site
development,
buildings
and
trees,
and
then
begins
passing
over
a
smoother
surface,
such
as
a
fetch
of
open
water,
the
wind
immediately
begins
to
recover
speed
as
it
moves
over
the
water,
until
it
reaches
a
higher
speed
that
is
determined
by
the
smoothness
of
the
water
surface.
Only
two
or
three
measurement
points
are
needed
to
characterize
this
speed
change
for
one
wind
direction,
but
more
points
were
provided
in
order
to
characterize
four
wind
directions
over
the
area
of
the
entire
grid
and
to
provide
redundancy
to
enable
the
segmented
measurements
required
by
the
large
project
and
test
area.
By
covering
the
entire
grid,
the
wind
speed
measurements
also
necessarily
cover
the
CPA
“practical
sailing
area.”
Please
see
page
4.M-12
of
the
Draft
EIR
which
explains
the
process
of
identifying
the
primary
sailing
area
evaluated
in
the
Draft
EIR
wind
analysis.
See
also
the
discussion
of
the
wind
sailing
area
provided
and
New
wind
tunnel
test
measurements
and
analysis
were
used
to
determine
all
of
the
wind
effects
of
proposed
Baylands
development
on
the
CPSRA.
Prior
wind
test
results
were
included,
where
appropriate,
to
assist
in
determining
the
wind
effects
on
the
CPSRA
of
other
development
to
the
north,
within
San
Francisco.
These
extensive
measurement
data
are
