If the surface wind is changed, the relative gust value, in this case 10 kt (5 m/s), will
be maintained. Therefore, if the wind is changed to 20 kt (10 m/s), the absolute gust
will be changed to 30 kt (15 m/s).
If the entered gust value equals the surface wind value, the number will not be
displayed and will be replaced by the text 'No Gust'.
If the surface wind is set to calm conditions, the absolute gust value will be reset and
the 'Gusting to' button will be disabled.
