“…To reduce the subjectivity in the evaluation of the wind factors in the WHC, Quine & White (1993, 1994 used multiple regression of the rate of attrition of tatter flags against a group of geographic elements including wind zone, aspect, elevation, topex, valley shape and valley direction. Tatter flags are made with cotton and the rate of loss of this material has been found to be well correlated with mean wind speed over a two-month period (Jack & Savill, 1973). The relative importance of each element was used to create a new scoring system called the Detailed Aspect Method of Scoring (DAMS) (Quine & White, 1993).…”
