Characteristics of two different types of thunderstorms in summer over the Nagqu area in China

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
To investigate further the characteristics of thunderstorms on the Qinghai–Tibet plateau, a plateau vortex (PV) thunderstorm and a local thermoconvective (TC) thunderstorm over the Nagqu area are analyzed using cloud-radar, microwave-radiometer, and ...

Variation Characteristics of the Wind Field in a Typical Thunderstorm Event in Beijing

Applied Sciences, 2022
The understanding of wind field characteristics during thunderstorms is key to structural design for resistance to thunderstorms. In this paper, the directional thunderstorm wind model is adopted to analyze the characteristics of vertical variations of ...

Under the weather: an epidemic thunderstorm asthma event in Leicester, June 2023. [PDF]

BMJ Open Respir Res
In the context of climate change and increasing global populations, thunderstorm asthma may become a greater threat at both individual and population levels. The unpredictable nature of epidemic thunderstorm asthma events makes them challenging to study;

Thunderstorm asthma

Current Allergy and Asthma Reports, 2004
Thunderstorms have often been linked to epidemics of asthma, especially during the grass flowering season; however, the precise mechanisms explaining this phenomenon are unknown. Evidence of high respirable allergen loadings in the air associated with specific meteorologic events combined with an analysis of pollen physiology suggests that rupture of ...

Statistical Observation of Thunderstorm-Induced Ionospheric Gravity Waves above Low-Latitude Areas in the Northern Hemisphere

Remote Sensing, 2019
Gravity waves (GWs) generated in the lower atmosphere can propagate upwards to ionospheric height. In this study, we investigated the correlation between ionospheric GWs detected by Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-derived total electron content

Thunderstorm Downbursts and Wind Loading of Structures: Progress and Prospect

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2020
In 1961, Davenport published a paper, considered by most to be a critical work in the study of wind engineering, in which meteorology, micrometeorology, climatology, aerodynamics, and structural dynamics were embedded in a homogeneous framework of the ...

A Thunderstorm Gale Forecast Method Based on the Objective Classification and Continuous Probability

Atmosphere, 2022
Potential prediction is an important research content of thunderstorm gale weather forecast, and it is still a challenge because the environmental field of thunderstorm gale presents different characteristics under different weather conditions. Using the

Searching for effects caused by thunderstorms in midlatitude sporadic E layers [PDF]

, 2017
Possible thunderstorm - sporadic E (Es) layer coupling effects are investigated during two measurement periods, one in 2013 and one in 2014. The analysis was based on ionospheric observations obtained from a Digisonde at Pruhonice, the Czech Republic, an

Thunderstorm Asthma: Looking Back and Looking Forward

Journal of Asthma and Allergy, 2020
Epidemic thunderstorm asthma has been reported to have occurred around twenty times over the past three decades in locations around the world. Thunderstorm asthma events are characterized by a significant increase in asthma presentations, which on ...
