Aerodynamic characteristics of the train traversing the thunderstorm downburst wind field

Advances in Wind Engineering
To investigate the aerodynamic characteristics of the high-speed train as it traverses the thunderstorm downburst wind, a special test device was used to simulate the thunderstorm downburst wind field.

The Effect of Variation in the Interlayer Spacing of a Double‐Layer Truss Bridge on the Bridge Deck Wind Environment

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Double‐layer truss bridges are widely used in long‐span crossings due to their high load‐carrying capacity and structural efficiency. However, their complex truss configurations significantly alter the wind field around the deck, posing potential challenges to driving safety and comfort.

Horizontal Anisotropy of Turbulent Fluctuations in Surface and Air Temperatures Over a Flat, Homogeneous Surface

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 24, 28 December 2025.
Abstract Longitudinal Lx $\left({L}_{x}\right)$ and lateral Ly $\left({L}_{y}\right)$ integral length scales describe the characteristic horizontal structure of energy‐containing turbulent structures in a flow. The ratio Lx/Ly ${L}_{x}/{L}_{y}$ describes the anisotropy of the structures where Lx/Ly>1 ${L}_{x}/{L}_{y} > 1$ indicates structures elongated

The impact of catastrophic forest blowdown on large wood loads in headwater streams

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 15, December 2025.
Catastrophic forest blowdown across parts of southeastern Australia in June 2021 substantially increased large wood loads in headwater streams, delivering 88% of the measured wood volume. Wood loads did not correlate to blowdown density but instead were significantly influenced by valley morphology, such that wider valley bottoms had higher wood loads.

Evaluating the Impact of the Planetary Boundary Layer on Dynamics of Urban Thunderstorms Over the Eastern Indian Region

Meteorological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Higher Turbulent Kinetic Energy in YSU indicates strong turbulence in the boundary layer (thick black curved arrows) resulting in the exchange of turbulent fluxes to the upper atmosphere through strong updrafts (Red arrows), making the atmosphere saturated, aiding the realistic prediction of rainfall associated with thunderstorms compared to MYJ and ...

An observational study of a circular gust front over the Yangtze Delta, China

Weather, Volume 80, Issue 11, Page 387-394, November 2025.
Concentric gust fronts are formed when a thunderstorm’s downdraft reaches the ground and the outflow from the cold pool spreads uniformly outwards into the surrounding warm and humid air mass. Observational evidence presented here show the case of narrow‐band echoes forming a ring around a thunderstorm.

The Bayesian sinking in Porticello: a predictable convective windstorm?

Weather, Volume 80, Issue 11, Page 365-373, November 2025.
The meteorological phenomenon that led to the Bayesian yacht sinking in Sicily at 0206 utc on 19 August 2024 is here investigated. A thunderstorm occurred during the sinking, but uncertainties exist regarding whether a waterspout or a downburst affected the ship. An in‐depth analysis of available observations highlighted that the ship was likely struck

Characteristics of Rainfall in Wind Field of a Downburst and Its Effects on Motion of High-Voltage Transmission Line

Shock and Vibration, 2017
Despite most weather-related failures of high-voltage transmission lines (HVTLs) being attributed to the downbursts accompanied by heavy rainfall, research works mainly focused on the behaviors of the high-voltage transmission tower-line structures under

High‐Spatial Resolution Space‐Based Observations in the Upper Troposphere and Upper Mesosphere of Wavelike Features Produced by Hurricane Ian

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 19, 16 October 2025.
Abstract A new high‐spatial resolution camera on the International Space Station used OH nightglow in the H‐band to image the ground at an ∼ ${\sim} $70 m pixel footprint over an ∼ ${\sim} $280 km swath and maintained this resolution during its 1.5 s exposure.

Effects of the urban land use on a severe convective windstorm

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 151, Issue 773, October 2025 Part B.
Numerical simulations with the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with the Building Effect Parametrization–Building Energy Model multilayer canopy model were conducted to investigate the impact of urban land use on a severe convective windstorm in Milan, northern Italy, on July 25, 2023.
