Predictability of Downslope Windstorms and Mechanisms Controlling Their Onset [PDF]
Downslope windstorms in the western United States often contribute to the ignition and ex- acerbation of existing wildfires due to their hot, dry, and gusty nature.

Ensemble sensitivity analysis of a severe downslope windstorm in complex terrain: implications for forecast predictability scales and targeted observing networks [PDF]
Multiple mesoscale numerical weather simulations are conducted to evaluate whether Ensemble Sensitivity Analysis (ESA) is a useful tool determining the sensitivity of a severe downslope windstorm (DSWS) in complex terrain to initial conditions and ...

The propagation of mountain waves into the stratosphere: Quantitative evaluation of three-dimensional simulations [PDF]
On 6 January 1992 measurements of a mountain wave with significant amplitude were taken over the southern tip of Greenland during an ER-2 flight at an altitude of about 20 km.

Characterising Vento Norte Downslope Windstorms and Their Thermal Impacts in Southern Brazil
ABSTRACT This study investigates the meteorological characteristics and associated human thermal discomfort of downslope windstorms known as ‘Vento Norte’ (VNOR; ‘North Wind’ in Portuguese) occurring in the city of Santa Maria, southern Brazil, over 20 years (2004–2023).

Downslope soil detachment-transport on steep slopes via rain splash
This study developed a one-dimensional model of downslope rain splash transport based on field experiments and previous studies. The developed model considers soil detachment processes, ground cover, probability densities, and the effect of overland run ...
