Downslope Windstorms of San Diego County. Part I: A Case Study

open access: yesMonthly Weather Review, 2016
Abstract The “Santa Ana” wind is an offshore flow that affects Southern California periodically during the winter half of the year, typically between September and May. The winds can be locally gusty, particularly in the complex terrain of San Diego County, where the winds have characteristics of downslope windstorms.

Spatial structure of local winds “Rokko‐oroshi”: A case study using Doppler lidar observation and WRF simulation

open access: yesAtmospheric Science Letters
Rokko‐oroshi is a northerly local wind blowing in the mega‐city Kobe, Japan. This wind blows from the Rokko Mountains. This study analyzed the three‐dimensional structure of Rokko‐oroshi observed with a near‐surface anemometer and Doppler lidar on ...

Cypress (Taxodium) Knee Seasonal Growth Is Stimulated by Flood Water Levels and Constrained by the Tree Dormant Season: A 14‐Year Study

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Data from monthly monitoring of thirty cypress knees in a southern Florida cypress dome over 14 years demonstrated that knees have a distinct dormant season from November through March, and during their growing season, knees grew only when the cypress dome had surface water.

Local and Upscale Impacts of Airflow over Mountains: Finite-Amplitude Dynamics and Downslope Windstorm Predictability

open access: yes, 2021
Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Washington, 2021Mountain waves are gravity waves generated by flow over terrain. The generation of these waves is significant for both their local impacts in mountainous areas, such as strong downslope winds, and their ...
