Determining wind gusts using mean hourly wind speed

Lidija Cvitan

Abstract

This paper presents a way of defining the speed of the strongest gusts
in days with long-lasting, relatively strong wind at the Split-Marjan meteorological
station. The gusts have been defined on the basis of the maximal
mean hourly values of wind speed on the same day at the Split-Marjan location.
The relations derived are of a strictly local character while the methodology
used to define them could be used generally. This methodology is suitable
for the development of a meteorological background to support Croatian
standards in designing overhead power-transmission lines.
