  • Due to the influence of local factors such as underlying surface, the fitting performance of the gust factor method can vary among different observation stations in the Yellow and Bohai Seas and adjacent areas. Therefore, based on observations from January 2021 to December 2022, causes for different performances are analyzed, and a gust estimation correction (GECO) method is proposed based on the coefficient of difference and frequency matching to correct fitting results of the gust factor method. It's concluded that, as the gust wind speed increases, the fitting results tend to be biased towards the gust at the whole observation time rather than the maximum gust within the hour. The difference coefficient calculated from the maximum gust within the hour and the gust at the whole hour observation time can quantitatively characterize the influence of local characteristics of the observation station on fitting results. For stations with large difference coefficients, the gust factor method has a larger negative bias in fitting the strong gusts, so it needs to be corrected to a greater extent. Conversely, for stations with small differences, the gust factor method has a smaller negative bias in fitting the strong gusts, so it only needs to be corrected to a smaller extent. GECO method constructed based on statistical results of 12 benchmark observation stations can also be applied to 364 stations in the Yellow and Bohai Seas and adjacent areas, demonstrating the feasibility of quantitatively characterizing the influence of local factors such as underlying surface on fitting results of gusts, as well as the stability of GECO method. In the comparative test of fitting errors for 364 stations in the Yellow and Bohai Seas and adjacent areas, after correction by GECO method, the root mean square error of gusts above 12 m·s-1 and 16 m·s-1 is reduced by 12.3% and 11.5%, respectively, compared to the gust factor method. Although GECO method may slightly increase the fitting error of weak gusts, it can significantly improve the fitting performance of strong gusts. In the verification during the impact of Typhoon Muifa from 14 September to 16 September in 2022, the fitting performance of strong gusts is also significantly improved after correction by GECO method. The improvement of fitting performance is the basis for improving forecasting skill. Combining GECO method with other objective gust forecasting methods can further enhance the forecasting service capability of gusts.
