The Freysnes downslope windstorm
Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2007 A violent windstorm downstream of the mountain of Öræfajökull in SE-Iceland is studied with the help of observations from automatic weather stations and high-resolution simulations.

Downslope windstorm in Iceland – WRF/MM5 model comparison [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011 A severe windstorm downstream of Mt. Öræfajökull in Southeast Iceland is simulated on a grid of 1 km horizontal resolution by using the PSU/NCAR MM5 model and the Advanced Research WRF model.

Climatology of extreme downslope windstorms in the Russian Arctic
Weather and Climate Extremes, 2020 This paper presents the climatology of downslope windstorms in the Russian Arctic – bora on Novaya Zemlya, windstorms on Spitsbergen, in Tiksi and Pevek, bora on Wrangel Island – in connection with the large-scale circulation.

Numerical study of severe downslope windstorm
Weather and Climate Extremes, 2013 AbstractSevere downslope windstorm occurred during January 11 and 12, 1972 when the observed wind in the upstream region changed little, a surge of warmer air moved across the northwestern US at 500hPa, accompanied by rapid pressure falls and strong surface cyclogenesis in the lee of the Rocky Mountains triggered the downslope windstorm.

Numerical study of a downslope windstorm in Northwestern Greece
Atmospheric Research, 2009 Abstract This paper describes the leeside wind storm of 25–26 March 1998, the most intense wind storm of the last decade in Northwestern Greece. This wind storm produced wind gusts of ∼ 30 m s − 1 that resulted in tree uprooting, roof damaging, electric power network disruption and flooding in the lake-side areas of Ioannina city in Northwestern ...

Analysis of the 1 December 2011 Wasatch Downslope Windstorm
Weather and Forecasting, 2015 Abstract A downslope windstorm on 1 December 2011 led to considerable damage along a narrow 50-km swath at the western base of the Wasatch Mountains in northern Utah. The strongest surface winds began suddenly at 0900 UTC, primarily in the southern portion of the damage zone.

Evaluating the Use of a Nonlinear Two-Dimensional Model in Downslope Windstorm Forecasts
Weather and Forecasting, 2000 Abstract Severe downslope windstorms are a mesoscale, primarily wintertime, phenomenon that affect regions in the lee of large mountain ranges. The resolution of current weather prediction models is too coarse to explicitly predict downslope windstorms. Hence, additional operational tools are needed for making downslope windstorm forecasts.

Sydney downslope windstorm event on 31 October 2023
Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems ScienceA moderate-strength downslope windstorm occurred in the Sydney Metropolitan Area during the early morning of 31 October 2023. It was a rare event in view of the climatology of Sydney, as some stations reported the highest wind gusts in the last 20 years.
