It appears that (V 0.16) is V to the power of 0.16 = (V ^ 0.16)
round (35.74+0.6215*temp-35.75*(V^0.16)+(0.4275*temp)*(V ^ 0.16))

Thanks for any help you might offer.
Last year I did WCF in metric based on info from Environment Canada:
V= wind speed Km/h T= temperature 0C
round (((0.045*(5.27*(V^(0.5))+10.45-0.28*V)*(T-33)+33)*100)/100)
brrrr

current WCF: -350C
