While going through the ASCE 7-16, I encountered with the equation C26.11-8 under chapter 26 'Wind loads: General Requirements'.

fn1=150/h (ft) ------------- Equation (C26.11-8)

There is a reference to two papers by Zhou and Kareem. However, I couldn't quite grasp the idea on how the equation was derived and wanted to know if that equation is reliable to use?

Thank you so much for your time.
