The relevance of air-instability indices in assessing the thermoconvective phenomena within the operation area of the “Traian Vuia” airport in Timisoara, on 10 july 2021 [PDF]
Present Environment and Sustainable DevelopmentAt present, we are witnessing progressive changes in the global climate, caused by both natural and anthropogenic factors. According to a 2019 IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report, ocean levels will rise drastically, storms will be ...

Potential impact of aerosols on convective clouds revealed by Himawari-8 observations over different terrain types in eastern China [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021 Convective clouds are common and play a major role in Earth's water cycle and energy balance; they may even develop into storms and cause severe rainfall events.

Progress toward developing a practical societal response to severe convection (2005 EGU Sergei Soloviev Medal Lecture) [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2005 A review of severe convection in the context of geophysical hazards is given. Societal responses to geophysical hazards depend, in part, on the ability to forecast the events and the degree of certainty with which forecasts can be made.

Vulnerability of Amazon forests to storm-driven tree mortality
Environmental Research Letters, 2018 Tree mortality is a key driver of forest community composition and carbon dynamics. Strong winds associated with severe convective storms are dominant natural drivers of tree mortality in the Amazon.

Mobile Radar Observations of Severe Convective Storms
Meteorological Monographs, 2003 Fixed-site ground-based radars seldom are able to collect data with sufficient resolution for research purposes owing to the small-scale nature, rapid translation, and infrequency of severe convective storms and the small-scale phenomena they spawn.
