We report on the structure of atmospheric turbulence especially focusing on the spatial correlations of three fluctuating components of wind speed using our record measured at a transmission tower located at the tip of a cape, which are required for simulations of the dynamic response of a coupled tower-and-conductor system and of the trajectory of a flying debris under a strong wind. According to our results, the profiles of longitudinal and lateral wind speeds in typhoons were different from those in non typhoons. And we showed that cross-correlations between the longitudinal and lateral components of the fluctuating wind speeds were explained by the theoretical expressions in the isotropic turbulence theory, using the covariance coefficients of the longitudinal and lateral components normalized by the longitudinal scale of turbulence of the longitudinal wind speed.
