This issue represents step 1 of a larger piece of work to enable skilful wind downscaling in IMPROVER. The current wind‑downscaling code mixes height correction (HC) and roughness correction (RC). My understanding is that earlier investigations suggest that HC alone adds skill, but the combined HC+RC approach does not (at least over the UK domain). The long‑term aim (step 2) is to separate these components cleanly, but to be able to do that, the existing code needs to be understood, tidied, and documented without altering the science. This issue covers that preparatory clean‑up work.

Testing:
