Long‐Term Biodiversity–Stability Relationship in Temperate Mountain Forests

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Theories on ecological stability lack the long‐term observational data necessary to comprehend the dynamics of durable and complex ecosystems like forests; consequently, the influence of biodiversity on ecosystem stability remains predominantly unexplained.

Evaluation of PBL Schemes in Weather Research and Forecasting Model Simulations of Downslope Windstorm over Modest Terrain in Southern Brazil

Atmosphere
Vento Norte (VNOR; Portuguese for North Wind) is a downslope windstorm that develops over modest terrain in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), southern Brazil.

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.

On the Tropical Nature of an Intense Mediterranean Cyclone in the Ocean‐Atmosphere System

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract The Mediterranean basin hosts a large number of cyclones every year. Among them, some rare cases named medicanes present similarities with tropical cyclones but their dynamical characteristics are debated. The ocean‐atmosphere dynamics of Medicane Ianos (2020) are studied here through km‐scale fully coupled ocean‐wave‐atmosphere simulations ...

DISAPPEARANCE OF PULSATIONS IN SEVERE DOWNSLOPE WINDSTORMS

Hrvatski meteorološki časopis, 2005
Idealized numerical simulations of the bora-type flow have been performed. The intention was to find what causes the pulsations in the developed windstorm state to disappear. Four different incident vertical profiles were used and the results showed that the main effect originates from the low-level positive shear, and the uppertropospheric jet stream ...

A New Theory for Downslope Windstorms and Trapped Mountain Waves

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2016
Abstract Linear mountain gravity waves forced by a nonlinear surface boundary condition are derived for a background wind that is null at the surface and increases smoothly to reach a constant value aloft and for a constant buoyancy frequency.

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.

Tree regeneration trends in forests of the northeastern USA and their implications for resilience and restoration

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 5, July 2026.
Abstract Tree regeneration is vital to shaping characteristics of future forests, including vulnerability to climate change; resilience to pests, pathogens and disturbance; and departure from historical species composition. We used data from nationwide forest inventory plots to investigate trends in sapling abundance and recruitment as well as tree ...

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

Atmospheric 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 ...
