Characteristic Analysis of the Downburst in Greely, Colorado on 30 July 2017 Using WPEA Method and X-Band Radar Observations

Atmosphere, 2018
As a manifestation of low-altitude wind shear, a downburst is a localized, strong downdraft that can lead to disastrous wind on the ground surface.

The influence of thunderstorm downbursts on wind turbine design

, 2012
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 61400-1 for the design of wind turbines does not explicitly address site-specific conditions associated with anomalous atmospheric events or conditions.

Thin-film Photovoltaics Under Extreme Wind Loading Due to Downbursts in the Washington D.C. Area [PDF]

, 2010
Extreme wind loading on buildings can be caused by a variety of different weather phenomenon, including straight-line wind-inducing events known as downbursts.

Comparative study of tall building response to synoptic and non-synoptic wind action

REM: International Engineering Journal
Until the beginning of the 21st Century, the characteristics of wind for purposes of structural analysis and design, as reflected in wind codes worldwide, were based on the behavior of wind currents in the vicinity of the ground surface observed in so ...

Explainable Reinforcement Learning Framework for Autonomous Windshear Escape with Policy Distillation

Aerospace
Low-altitude micro downbursts pose a severe threat to aviation safety, yet conventional control approaches and standard deep reinforcement learning (DRL) often fail due to explicit modeling difficulties and sparse reward constraints.

Numerical Simulation of Downbursts and Comparison with Full Scale Data

, 2020
: The macro-flow dynamics and scale dependency of impinging jets with applications to downbursts is numerically investigated. Due to the unstable separationreattachment of the boundary layer the flow is Reynolds number (scale) dependent.

Downburst prediction applications of meteorological geostationary satellites

SPIE Proceedings, 2014
A suite of products has been developed and evaluated to assess hazards presented by convective storm downbursts derived from the current generation of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) (13-15). The existing suite of GOES downburst prediction products employs the GOES sounder to calculate risk based on conceptual models of ...

Generation of downburst outflow in a traditional wind tunnel using multi-blade flow control device

Advances in Wind Engineering
The thunderstorm downbursts impose a great threat to civil engineering structures and the experimentation for such nonsynoptic winds plays a significant role in the characterization and quantification of relevant aerodynamic loading.
