Path: ACPro/Wind

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Combined steady-state and gust model for wind. To be used in simulation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   wind = WindModel( action, x, mET )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   action         (:)     String argument specifying the action to take

                             "initialize"   Initialize with data. Second input, 
                                            x, is data structure with fields:

         .jD                    Initial Julian date at start of sim
         .gustPeriod            Period at which gust model matrices are updated [sec]
         .steadyStatePeriod     Period at which steady-state wind is computed [sec]
         .sigmaU                Standard deviation of gust velocity in x [m/s]
         .sigmaV                Standard deviation of gust velocity in y [m/s]
         .sigmaW                Standard deviation of gust velocity in z [m/s]

                             "xdot"         Compute wind gust state derivatives. 
                                            Second input, x, is the 5x1 wind gust 
                                            state vector.

                             "update"       Update the model and return the
                                            wind velocity. Remaining inputs 
                                            for this case described below.

   x              (.)     Aircraft state data structure. The disturbance
                          state vector must be a 5x1 vector for the wind 
                          gust states: u (1), v (2), w (2).

   mET            (1)     Mission-elapsed time    [sec]

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   wind          (3,1)    Velocity of wind in body frame  [m/s]
