The Predictability of the Southern England 23 October 2022 Severe Downbursts
Atmospheric Science LettersAccurate prediction of damaging straight‐line wind events from convective storms relies heavily on storm morphology and nowcasting. Utilising the Microburst Wind Potential Index in ensemble forecasts we examine the predictability of its different ...

Downburst-Induced Vibration Coefficient of Long-Span Roof Structures
Buildings, 2022 Long-span roof structures are vulnerable to being damaged by downbursts due to the sensitivity of such structures to wind loads. However, there is still no simple and practical method for the downburst-resistant design of such structures to date ...
