This study investigates the effects of rising turbulence intensity driven by climate change on gust spectra and related consequences on aircraft design and aviation. Utilizing data collected from the Aeolus ESA satellite, the authors compare effective gust profiles with established wind models, including those by von Kármán and Dryden.
