A dome will definitely help with wind protection, but may limit your options to "away" from the the wind. I imagine the POD type dome (180° open) is worse in this respect than a slot type but if you work in the half of the sky away from the wind the POD works beautifully. To some extent the POD also works into the wind by creating a picket of stiller air held in front of the dome, but only in light breezes
.
Be aware that slot type domes can be subject to turbulence in the slot until the dome cools down (the chimney affect). The POD is less affected due to the bigger opening but thermals have an effect no matter what you use.
