Turbulence during high wind episodes in a coastal region

Turbulence in the atmospheric surface layer caused by aerodynamic roughness and temperature variations induces different degrees of mixing leading to various boundary layer processes. Random fluctuations of velocity and pressure in the atmosphere also causes random motions of structures, sometimes resonant in nature. Structural failures mostly occur during high wind conditions when the amplitudes of fluctuations are the highest and the scales of turbulence the smallest. Such failures occur due to the complex combination of the atmospheric turbulence and the structure induced turbulence. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the structure of turbulence in the atmospheric surface layer in a coastal area during high wind conditions and compare the results with similar observations inland.
