      ECMWF gusts, reported in knots, are very often roughly double the other models, when wind speeds are roughly the same. Is there a unit conversion problem for just gusts?

        @belchfireid The ECMWF model calculates wind differently compared to other models, which can produce wind speeds that are higher than other models.

        Does the problem continue with other units of measurement or just with knots?
