Nennböengeschwindigkeit

Are they talking about "nominal gust speed" or what else?

Die anzunehmende ***Nennböengeschwindigkeit für Windzone IV in 63,0 m Nabenhöhe beträgt vb(63.0) =62 ,7 m/s und wurde in der Berechnung berücksichtigt.

Thanks in advance!

nominal gust speed

Lot of references in Google, too.

agree Jack Becconsall : I agree with Cristina and Richard about the distinction between speed and velocity.
