Short summary
Two approximate analytical expressions are derived, one for the variance of wind speed and the other for turbulence intensity, based on one simple assumption: that the turbulent fluctuations in wind are small with respect to the mean. The formulations perform well when applied to the observations from the American WAKE experimeNt (AWAKEN) field campaign conducted in 2023.
