Abstract
In the design of vessels, offshore structures and marine systems, both the peak wind loading and the fluctuation of the wind at certain frequencies must be considered. Spectra and gust factors are here derived from a unique set of wind turbulence measurements obtained at a stable platform 10 km off the coast of Nova Scotia.
