Never would I have thought that wind has any effect on sound waves, but...
"The source of a sound wave is stationary. The observer is moving toward the source. There is a steady wind blowing from the observer to the source. How does the wind change the observed frequency?"
The answer is "The wind magnifies the doppler effect and increases the frequency."
I used the equation, Frequency of listener = freq. of source * (v sound + v listener / v sound )
So I guess the wind velocity would add to the numerator, to add to the component of the fraction that shows the velocity of the listener towards the source, and therefore you would be multiplying by a larger number and have a larger observed frequency?
