ConclusionsHigh displacement and slow decay may allow for a ”hedg<strong>in</strong>g of bets”:Mast displacement height is less sensitive to errors on the distance from the trees.”Differential error” between <strong>in</strong>itiation and target mast is reduced on average.This analysis benefits from prior knowledge of the w<strong>in</strong>d regime at the target site.Without such prior knowledge, it is not quite as easy to discrim<strong>in</strong>ate between ”good”and ”bad” masts, and thus to determ<strong>in</strong>e when we should buy the costly ”high-d,low-s <strong>in</strong>surance”Can the conclusions from this study be appliedto other sites?to other ways of calculat<strong>in</strong>g the displacement height?Future workF<strong>in</strong>ish calculations us<strong>in</strong>g Raupach and Choudhury canopy modelsPopulate with a few more sites – good and bad!Further explore (d/h, z 0 , s) parameter spaces = 1:100, 1:200…. 1:∞ as a tactical <strong>in</strong>surance device?Extreme hedg<strong>in</strong>g of bets for bad mastsCalculate a separate displacement height for each sector, apply sector-wiseWhen calculat<strong>in</strong>g d, <strong>in</strong>clude trees located immediately downw<strong>in</strong>dw<strong>in</strong>d
