| | 1609.4.2 SURFACE ROUGHNESS CATEGORIES. A GROUND SURFACE |
| | ROUGHNESS WITHIN EACH 45-DEGREE (0.79 RAD) SECTOR SHALL |
| | BE DETERMINED FOR A DISTANCE UPWIND OF THE SITE AS |
| | DEFINED IN SECTION 1609.4.3 FROM THE CATEGORIES DEFINED |
| | BELOW, FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSIGNING AN EXPOSURE |
| | CATEGORY AS DEFINED IN SECTION 1609.4.3. |
