  "term": "Gust amplitude",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The maximum change in wind speed during a wind gust, measured as the difference between the peak gust speed and the mean wind speed over a specified averaging period. It quantifies the intensity of a sudden, brief increase in wind velocity. Gust amplitude is a key parameter in assessing wind loading on structures and in aviation safety.",
