Abstract
A wind-tunnel experiment has been performed by means of a new forest canopy model. Hot-wire anemometry and Particle Image Velocimetry have been used to describe the flow from the statistical point of view together with a conditional sampling approach based on the Variable Interval Time Average method. The analysis demonstrated qualitative agreement between both measurement techniques, regardless of the canopy density that affects the structure intensity but not its topology.
