We present a quantitative study of the variability in ultraviolet resonance lines of N V, Si IV and C IV of the Be star gamma Cas. For this purpose we used IUE spectra obtained over a period of eleven years. Variability occurs in the form of discrete absorption components (DACs), which are formed in the fast-outflowing radiatively driven part of the stellar wind. We constructed a template spectrum from spectra containing no or minor extra absorption due to DACs and modeled the isolated DACs in the obtained quotient spectra. Besides the frequently observed narrow components (Vt typically less than or = 250 km/s) at high velocity, we found several broad components occurring at low and intermediate wind velocities.
