Winds can certainly affect wake turbulence. I witnessed this often airdropping paratroopers.
in large formations of C-141’s. Above a certain wind speed and angle we actually adjusted our formation position to avoid Wake turbulence. For example the #2 ac in a standard formation was usually to the right of lead, but above a certain wind speed and direction the #2 jet would transition to the left side of lead to avoid Wake turbulence among the aircraft as well as for the paratroopers.
