Landings article from JPO Knowledge Bank: http://www.jetpilots.org/knowledge_bank/landings.pdf
Though it's a pity the JPO sees fit to publish this myth, copied from that article

Adjustments in throttle may also be necessary to compensate for wind. For instance, if a 10-mph crosswind is blowing at you across the runway
the jet will lose relative airspeed when turning downwind to base and bit more power will be required to avoid a stall. When turning base to final into a strong headwind, relative airspeed will actually increase and the jet may level off or even climb a bit. Compensate with a throttle adjustment.
