Abstract

Comparisons of logarithmic and power-law wind profiles are made for offshore conditions during Tropical Storm Debby in 2012 over the Gulf of Mexico. It is found that both laws are validated up to 122m and that the power law is as good as the log law statistically. For practical applications, the exponent of power law can be determined from the gust factor measurement available routinely from National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) buoys.
