I've always thought that was odd, and wondered about the reasoning for it, tbh.

I think it's a bit like some developers that get it into their head that because they once saw a bit of plexiglass with some crazing in it, that every canopy in the game has to have that same problem, only magnified x10 in order to accentuate the realism! Somebody probably read something in a meteorology book somewhere that said the wind velocity at ground level was a little less than that at 1600 feet due to friction caused by obstructions on the surface. I don't have an issue with that kind of thinking but the arbitrary amount is a bit disturbing. The difference they use is almost a factor of 2 which is way out of line with reality. If a breeze of 10 knots is blowing at the surface, it doesn't follow that at slightly above pattern altitude it is almost twice that! And out over the ocean, there is very little to obstruct the wind on the surface. I just hope that this will be addressed with the coming overhaul of the weather system that ED is planning.
