Short summary
A new method to synthesize a wind field with very low error with respect to the theoretical, expected statistics is presented. The presented method has been developed with the aim of validating the effectiveness of a wind reconstruction algorithm in the context of a gust load alleviation project. Finally, the proposed method allows us to synthesize Gaussian and stationary phenomena with high accuracy in various spatial domains with uniformly spaced rectangular grid shapes.
