Abstract

Leh airfield normally experiences gale speed surface winds during the period from April to October. From November to March, the winds are relatively weak. The reason for the gale strength speed appears to be the channelling effect. Katabatlc /anabatic flows or Foehn effects do not appear to be the significant contributory factors. There are numerous points along the river Indus where similar gale strength speeds are encountered and hence these appear to be good wind energy prospecting potential sites.
