Abstract:To ensure safe operation and improve runway utilization after the airport's completion,an a-nalysis of the wind condition characteristics at the Genghe North preliminary site for Foshan New Airport was conducted.The results show that the average annual wind speed during the observation period at the Genghe North preliminary site was 1.7 m·s-1,with monthly averages ranging between 1.5 and 2.0 m·s-1.Ex-treme wind speeds of up to 32.0 m·s-1 have occurred due to typhoon influences.The predominant wind di-rections are northeast(NE-NNE),followed by southwest(SW-SSW).Winds with speeds below 3 m·s-1 account for 89.69%of the wind speed frequency,while those below 6.5 m·s-1 account for 99.51%.Wind speed and direction have minimal impact on the runway.The wind load percentage with crosswind speeds not exceeding 6.5 m·s-1 is 99.74%,meeting runway operational requirements.
