Spatial composition and building techniques of farmhouses prone to windstorms:a case study in Arakawa Village, Shiga Prefecture, Japan

Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering, 2022
In Arakawa Village, the strong Hira downslope windstorm blowing from the Hira Mountains toward Lake Biwa, poses a great challenge for timber housing structures, which are prone to deformation. To understand the countermeasures applied in local farmhouses

Influence of Novaya Zemlya Bora on Sea Waves: Satellite Measurements and Numerical Modeling

Atmosphere, 2020
This paper investigates for the first time sea waves during Novaya Zemlya bora—a downslope windstorm on the western coast of the archipelago during eastern winds—using a statistical and case-study approach.

Inclusion of Surface Topography into the Vector Vorticity Equation Model (VVM)

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2011
Surface topography is implemented into the vector vorticity equation model with a block representation of mountains in the height coordinate. The kinematic boundary conditions at the surface are satisfied with a proper computational boundary condition ...

Nature and climatology of Pfänderwind

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2015
The characteristics and climatology of Pfänderwind, a largely unknown downslope windstorm near the town of Bregenz (Austria) at the entrance of the Rhine Valley, are investigated based on an eleven-year dataset of weather station observations and ERA ...

Mobile Wind Lidar measurements of the spatial variability of atmospheric boundary layer flows in complex terrain [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
Making observations of the spatial structure of atmospheric boundary layer flows is an ongoing challenge that we attempt to address with the development of the surface-based mobile observing platform UWOW (University of Virginia Wind Observatory on ...

Possible observation of horizontal roll vortices over the Adriatic Sea during bora

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2015
We report a possible occurrence of horizontal roll vortices over the Adriatic Sea during the bora wind. The National Center for Atmospheric Research Electra aircraft measured the turbulence structure above the Adriatic on 07 November 1999 during the ...

A note on local and non-local properties of turbulence in the bora flow

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2006
On the basis of two-month measurements of the bora wind at Senj, Croatia, with a 1 s temporal resolution, properties of the bora turbulence are inspected using the records of three bora episodes.

Fly me to the canopy: Diptera communities in oak forest crowns as bioindicators of stand decline

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Diptera diversity: Oak decline increases the overall Diptera diversity, particularly in saproxylic and floricolous guilds, likely due to more open canopies and greater deadwood and floral resource availability. Family responses: Dolichopodidae, Empididae, Hybotidae and Anthomyiidae thrive in declining stands, whereas Mycetophilidae and other fungus ...

Fire‐driven forest degradation enhances termite activity and accelerates litter decomposition in the Amazonia rainforest

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Forest degradation increased termite‐mediated litter decomposition, whereas no such effect was detected in undisturbed forests. Reduced ant predation and altered forest conditions were associated with higher termite abundance and faster litter decomposition.
