Sažetak
This paper presents a way of defining the speed of the strongest gusts in days with long-lasting, relatively strong wind at the Split-Marjan meteorological station. The gusts have been defined on the basis of the maximal mean hourly values of wind speed on the same day at the Split-Marjan location. The relations derived are of a strictly local character while the methodology used to define them could be used generally. This methodology is suitable for the development of a meteorological background to support Croatian standards in designing overhead power-transmission lines.
