vb = Basic wind velocity
vb,0 = Fundemantal value of the basic wind velocity

The fundamental value of the basic wind velocity, vb,0, is the characteristic 10 minutes mean wind velocity, irrespective of wind direction and time of year, at 10m above ground level in open country terrain with low vegetation such as grass and isolated obstacles with separations of at least 20 obstacle heights.

The fundamental value of the basic wind velocity, vb,0 , may be given in the National Annex.
