Abstract
Abstract Surface wind gusts are studied by analyses of the properties of gust distributions. The data come from a set of anemometers that acquires data continuously at Sydney Airport. Probabilistic techniques are developed to identify landing and take-off directions under the greatest risk of along- and cross-track gusts. At Sydney Airport, along-track gusts are found to be more severe than cross-track gusts, and operations in runway direction 07 are found to pose the greatest risk. Conditions of strong synoptically generated wind are considered as well as days on which thunderstorms occurred. The techniques developed should be applicable to data acquired from a ground-level anemometer network at any airport.
