Gust Factor and Peak Wind Estimator is a planned calculator in the science section of Super Calculator, covering wind.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: mean wind speed, terrain class and averaging period.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Peak gust = mean wind times gust factor by terrain roughness and averaging period.
Written for crane and drone operators judging gust exposure.
