This profile emulates the wind variations defined by the Joint Airport Weather
Studies (JAWS) project 1983 report.
The JAWS project was set up in 1982 by the University of Chicago and the National
Center for Atmospheric Research.
There are four cores in this profile that are positioned as follows:
1) 8,000 ft in front of threshold and 200 ft to the left of centerline.
2) 7,000 ft in front of threshold and 200 ft to the left of centerline.
3) 5,750 ft in front of threshold and 900 ft to the left of centerline.
4) 1,500 ft in front of threshold and 400 ft to the left of centerline.
