This paper reports the design and initial testing of a device that measures the wind force model windbreaks. Our objective is to improve understanding of the relationship between shelterbelt porosity, aerodynamic drag, and snowdrift formation. Two identical drag-boards allow simultaneous comparison of drag on a model shelterbelt with drag of a snow fence model for which the prototype drag coefficient is known.
