Evaluation of Ensemble‐Based Extreme Forecast Diagnostics for Zonda Wind Prediction
Earth and Space ScienceZonda is a downslope windstorm on the eastern slopes of the Andes in western Argentina. This Foehn‐like phenomenon can produce hazardous, strong, and gusty downslope winds, leading to extreme and rapid warming with severe societal impacts.

The Role of Surface Friction in Downslope Windstorms [PDF]
Journal of Applied Meteorology, 1989 Abstract Numerical simulations of the 11 January 1972 windstorm in Boulder, Colorado, were carded out using a hydrostatic model with a turbulent kinetic energy parameterization to investigate the role of fictional effects in the development of nonlinear mountain waves.

Mountain wave and downslope winds impact on wind power production [PDF]
Wind Energy ScienceVertically propagating mountain waves, accompanied by strong downslope winds, occur frequently along the coast of Norway and cause accelerated surface winds on the lee side and downstream of the mountain.

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 ...
