  • Summary

  • Meteorology Matters presents an analytical framework for standardizing tropical cyclone wind characteristics (mean wind speed, turbulence intensity, integral scale, gust factor, and peak factor) from various measurement conditions to a common reference. This framework uses equilibrium boundary-layer theory and is applied to data from seven tropical cyclones (four typhoons, three hurricanes), comparing results to existing standards (ASCE 7-10 and AIJ-RLB-2004). We continue to. examine gust factor variations based on coastal tower measurements during three landfalling typhoons. We explore the relationships between gust factor and turbulence intensity, height, wind speed, and direction, finding that gust factors are smaller than those in national codes and influenced significantly by shoreline confinement on sea wave development.
