## Description

This MCP server provides tools to model the vertical wind profile using the logarithmic wind law. It helps kite pilots understand how wind speed increases with height based on surface roughness. Use `get_wind_at_height` to find wind speeds at specific altitudes, `calculate_power_scaling` to determine the cubic power increase, `find_optimal_flying_height` to plan flights within line length limits, and `analyze_thermal_impact` to assess atmospheric stability.

## Tools

### analyze_thermal_impact
Analyzes how temperature gradients affect atmospheric stability and wind profile

### calculate_power_scaling
Calculates the power increase ratio and percentage when flying at a target wind speed

### find_optimal_flying_height
Finds the ideal height to achieve a target power ratio within gear constraints

### get_wind_at_height
Calculates the wind speed at a specific altitude using the logarithmic wind profile

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the wind speed at 50 meters if the wind at 10 meters is 5 m/s and the surface is smooth water?
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated wind speed at 50 meters is 6.2 m/s.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much more power will I get if the wind speed increases from 5 m/s to 7 m/s?
```

**Response:** 
```
Increasing the wind speed from 5 m/s to 7 m/s results in a 2.74 times increase in available power.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I have 100m of line. What is the best height to get double the power if the wind at 10m is 6 m/s and roughness is 0.03?
```

**Response:** 
```
To achieve a 2x power increase, the optimal flying height is 32.5 meters.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does height affect my kite's power?**
Wind speed increases with height due to the wind gradient. Since power scales with the cube of wind speed, even small increases in altitude can lead to significant power gains.

**What is surface roughness?**
Surface roughness is a value representing how much the terrain (like water, grass, or buildings) slows down the wind near the ground.

**Can I find the best height for my line length?**
Yes, you can use `find_optimal_flying_height` to calculate the ideal altitude to reach a target power level without exceeding your physical line length.
