How to set up gusty wind?

I’m trying to set up ground level wind from the north-north-west, 5 kt with gusts to 8 kt. How do I do that in MSFS (v 1.34.16.0 under W11 Home)?
I set the wind & gusts as in the screenshot. What actual (simulated) wind would I get?
The wind graph shows wind varying from near zero and around 5 kt. What, if anything, does this have to do with the numeric speed settings?
These settings are for “mean ground level”. How far above mean ground level do these settings apply: 1 foot? 100 feet? 1000 feet? forever?
