Why does wind blow in gusts?
In: Earth Science
While others might give long and good answers, I’ll put a smaller thing to think about.
Wind gusts just like waves bob on the ocean. For a lot of complicated reasons that others may go into more detail about, you have lower points of wind, and higher points of wind. They’re just usually not as frequent or in such an even pattern as waves are. It also doesn’t help that wind will usually have a lot more to work through, like trees and buildings, where as waves are usually undisturbed for miles and miles and miles.
