      • A short burst of high speed wind is termed a wind gust; one technical definition of a wind gust is: the maxima that exceed the lowest wind speed measured during a ten-minute time interval by 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph) for periods of seconds.

    4 days ago · A short burst of high speed wind is termed a wind gust; one technical definition of a wind gust is: the maxima that exceed the lowest wind speed measured during a ten-minute time interval by 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph) for periods of seconds.

  3. Jun 28, 2024 · (Right, inset) Fed by the main downdraft, the gust front flows in a turbulent layer along the ground and can extend far from the main body of the storm. A gust front is often felt by observers as a sudden cool wind arriving well in advance of a storm.

  4. Jun 28, 2024 · thunderstorm, a violent short-lived weather disturbance that is almost always associated with lightning, thunder, dense clouds, heavy rain or hail, and strong gusty winds. Thunderstorms arise when layers of warm, moist air rise in a large, swift updraft to cooler regions of the atmosphere.

  5. Jun 26, 2024 · Severe storms commonly produce damaging wind gusts in June and July because of abundant warmth and moisture. Here's why you should take this danger seriously.

  6. Jul 1, 2024 · Climate - Pressure, Wind, Air: Atmospheric pressure and wind are both significant controlling factors of Earth’s weather and climate. Although these two physical variables may at first glance appear to be quite different, they are in fact closely related.

  7. Jun 19, 2024 · A wind gauge, also known as a wind speed or wind velocity sensor, is a device used to measure the speed and direction of the wind. It is commonly used in meteorology, aviation, agriculture, and outdoor sports to provide real-time data on wind conditions.

  8. 4 days ago · The gust factor is calculated using the following simple formula: \ [ GF = GWS - SWS \] where: \ (GF\) is the gust factor in knots, \ (GWS\) is the gusting wind speed in knots, \ (SWS\) is the sustained wind speed in knots. To determine the gust factor, you simply subtract the sustained wind speed from the gusting wind speed. Example Calculation.
