Abstract:
  • Many meteorological stations observe wind gusts on a routine basis. The measuring procedures, however, are far from uniform. Some stations measure "instantaneous gusts" with fast response equipment, whereas other stations report the fastest mile. In this report it is tried to unify the observation practice by formulating specifications for the measurement of wind gustiness. The user requirements are reviewed and the consequences for the measuring system are discussed. Two aspects play an import
