Gust vector
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-006131
A representation of the instantaneous wind velocity during a gust, indicating both its speed and direction. It captures the rapid, transient fluctuations in wind flow that deviate from the mean wind. This vector is often analyzed in relation to aircraft performance or structural loading, providing insight into the dynamic forces exerted by turbulent air.
