Vector wind profile gust model
A methodology was developed for the derivation and analysis of small scale perturbations in Jimsphere wind profiles. Gusts in various wavelength bands have been derived from these perturbations; the probability distribution of gust components and associated gust length has been shown to be accurately represented by a gamma distribution. Theoretical and observed distributions of component gust vary significantly with season, altitude, and wavelength range. The results of this study provide the basis for a vector wind model for Cape Kennedy, Florida.
