Locations of the 864 Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) anemometers in the contiguous USA were found from Google Earth images and assigned the WMO class for local shelter. 352 (41%) locations are Class 1, requiring no correction and 308 (36%) are Class 2 and correctable by routine methods. The remainder classify as 3 to 5, requiring special methods or are un-correctable. The WMO classification is shown to be coarse and over-conservative. A proposed alternative procedure admits more stations into Class 1 or 2.</p>
