Comprehensive analysis of two downburst-related aircraft accidents [PDF]
Journal of Aircraft, 1996 Although downbursts have been identified as the major cause of a number of aircraft takeoff and landing accidents, only the 1985 Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) and the more recent (July 1994) Charlotte, North Carolina, landing accidents provided sufficient onboard recorded data to perform a comprehensive analysis of the downburst phenomenon. The first step in

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.

A study of the 23 October 2022 southern England damaging MCS
Weather, Volume 80, Issue 10, Page 324-334, October 2025.During the afternoon of 23 October 2022, a mesoscale convective system (MCS) developed and intensified over the English Channel and tracked north‐northeastward into southern England, producing widespread damaging winds and at least three moderate to strong tornadoes in Hampshire.

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

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 18, 28 September 2025.Abstract Monin‐Obukhov similarity theory (MOST) is widely used in numerical weather prediction to model surface fluxes of momentum, heat, and water vapor. However, MOST is based on assumptions of steady state and horizontally homogeneous turbulence that can lead to prediction errors in and around convective storms.

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 22, Page 3430-3450, 9 September 2025.Abstract Large eddy simulations (LES) can aid the prediction of wind loading on buildings, provided that representative inflow turbulence properties are prescribed. This study conducts LES to assess the sensitivity of the mean, root mean square (rms) fluctuation, and peak pressure coefficients (Cp) on building surfaces to the uncertainties in the ...

Observations of a frontal–trough merger over a wildfire, Queensland, Australia
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 151, Issue 771, July 2025 Part B.Observations are presented of the meteorology of a frontal–trough merger in subtropical Australia which impacted a wildfire. An elevated nocturnal mixed layer above approx. 2500 m with increasing moisture with height was identified as the source of instability that resulted in the formation of elevated storms along a 300‐km frontal–trough boundary ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 11, 16 June 2025.Abstract Satellite precipitation retrieval is inherently an underdetermined inverse problem where additional physical constraints could substantially enhance accuracy. While previous studies have explored static (pixel‐based/spatial‐context‐based) environmental variables at discrete satellite observation times, their temporal dynamic information ...

Numerical Modeling of Thunderstorm Downbursts and Downburst Lines [PDF]
, 2010 Large eddy simulations have been used to compare the near surface outflow of the commonly used transient impinging jet to that of the physically realistic cooling source downburst model. This has shown that the transient impinging jet is incapable of capturing the buoyancy driven features of an actual downburst, due to its non-physical forcing ...
