7 [7]. The trends that the turbulence intensities at the height of 40 m decrease with the wind speed increase, are similar to those in Figs. 5 and 6. 5. RELATION BETWEEN THE TURBULENCE INTENSITY AND THE POWER LAW INDEX OF MEAN WIND PROFILE If the stability of the atmosphere is neutral, the following relation between the frictional velocity, u*, and the standard deviation, s, of the wind speed fluctuation, can be assumed s = Au* (6) in which A is a constant. The logarithmic law which shows the vertical profile of the mean wind speed, u, is ΰ = fin 1 K.

The minimum values of n indicate the most turbulent wind under the given circumstances and they must be considered for structural design. The straight line drawn in Fig. 3 is the lower limit values of n for typhoon winds. n 10 8 -- NAKAGAWA . ^ V X * 6 5 ^ X *V ° Ü + 3 2 ^° 2 ^*-^"^ 1 0 • n 2 3 5 7 10 20 30 m /s ü 1 2 3 ■ 5 7 10 20 30 m/s ü Fig. 3.
