Abstract
Description
The objective of this study is to assess engineering
related wind characteristics in thunderstorms from field
collected data. Three specific objectives are addressed in
this report: (1) to study the dependence of wind speed
value on averaging time, (2) to assess turbulence in wind,
and (3) to evaluate wind direction profile. The evaluations
are based on the data collected at the 481m high WKY-TV
tower near Oklahoma city, Oklahoma. Ten one-hour segments of
field meteorological data collected simultaneously at seven
heights ranging from 7m to 444m on the tower with a recording
interval of one second are available for analysis.
