Experimental Simulation of Thunderstorm Profiles in an Atmospheric Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel
Applied Sciences, 2023 Thunderstorms have different features in comparison with synoptic events, including a typical nose-shaped mean wind speed profile and non-stationary characteristics in time intervals from 10 min to 1 h. The simulation of thunderstorms in traditional wind

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Windthrow is a significant disturbance in many forests globally during which strong winds damage trees or other large flora, yet its role in arid ecosystems remains largely understudied. The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea), a keystone species of the Sonoran Desert, is a long‐lived, massive succulent whose demography is primarily thought to

Three‐Dimensional Lightning Characteristics of Severe Convective Weather in Shanghai
Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Using 2022–2024 ADTD data, this study analyzes 3D lightning in Shanghai's severe convection. Activity peaks in August and afternoon hours, varies by weather type, and concentrates spatially in Pudong and Chongming. Results provide key references for selecting lightning indicators in forecasting and warning systems. ABSTRACT Using ADTD three‐dimensional
