Abstract:Wind gusts are sudden, brief increases in wind speed that have important implications for wind power generation, building design, aviation and marine safety. However, wind gusts in the Plateau and coastal plain are very different. In this paper, the gust characteristics are explored and compared at two sites in the same latitude—Xining, a city in the eastern Tibetan Plateau, and Qingdao, a city in the coast in China—using Doppler lidar data. The results indicate that the wind gusts in Xining are more intense a… Show more
