Semiempirical Models of Speedup Effect for Downburst Wind Field over 3-D Hills
Downbursts occur frequently in mountainous regions, such as the southwest of China, and causing extensive damage to engineering structures. While some researchers have developed semiempirical models for the speedup effect, most are based on the wind ...

Preliminary study on the causes of a downburst event in Tianjin in the summer of 2017
A severe thunderstorm gale event with several short-term rainfall,hail and downburst occurred in the southwest of Tianjin on 9 July 2017, during which two downbursts attacked successively Duliu Town,Jinghai District,Tianjin.

Oklahoma Downbursts and Their Asymmetry
Abstract Doppler radar data collected each spring in 1979–1984 with the two Doppler radars operated by the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) are used to investigate the asymmetry of low-altitude divergent outflows of convective storm downbursts in central Oklahoma.

Downbursts can be a significant hazard to aviation safety as well as to agricultural activities, structures and buildings on the ground. Major damages on the surface, airline incidents in the past, worns on the mechanism of the downburst occurrence and recent efforts to detect eho downburst are reviewed.
