In addition to the METAR type of gust, there's also a whole section in Part 25 structural design about "gusts" which defines sudden airmass changes all over the speed/altitude envelope. Depends on what you're discussing - either can mean some specific low altitude concepts, or could apply to more widely defined atmospherics.
