The Predictability of the Southern England 23 October 2022 Severe Downbursts
Atmospheric Science Letters, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.Accurate prediction of damaging straight‐line wind events from convection helps keep people safe. Using four regional ensemble prediction systems, we determine the predictability of the different aspects of the microburst wind potential index (left), which can be used to estimate the spread in expected downburst speed (right).

Three‐Dimensional Lightning Characteristics of Severe Convective Weather in Shanghai
Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Using 2022–2024 ADTD data, this study analyzes 3D lightning in Shanghai's severe convection. Activity peaks in August and afternoon hours, varies by weather type, and concentrates spatially in Pudong and Chongming. Results provide key references for selecting lightning indicators in forecasting and warning systems. ABSTRACT Using ADTD three‐dimensional

Meteorological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 6, November/December 2025.Higher Turbulent Kinetic Energy in YSU indicates strong turbulence in the boundary layer (thick black curved arrows) resulting in the exchange of turbulent fluxes to the upper atmosphere through strong updrafts (Red arrows), making the atmosphere saturated, aiding the realistic prediction of rainfall associated with thunderstorms compared to MYJ and ...

Wind Loads on Transmission Line Structures in Simulated Downbursts [PDF]
, 2006 Downbursts pose a recognized threat to transmission line networks in South-east Queensland, and many other regions around the world. However, when assessing the structural adequacy of transmission line structures, design codes assume that an atmospheric ...

An observational study of a circular gust front over the Yangtze Delta, China
Weather, Volume 80, Issue 11, Page 387-394, November 2025.Concentric gust fronts are formed when a thunderstorm’s downdraft reaches the ground and the outflow from the cold pool spreads uniformly outwards into the surrounding warm and humid air mass. Observational evidence presented here show the case of narrow‐band echoes forming a ring around a thunderstorm.

The Bayesian sinking in Porticello: a predictable convective windstorm?
Weather, Volume 80, Issue 11, Page 365-373, November 2025.The meteorological phenomenon that led to the Bayesian yacht sinking in Sicily at 0206 utc on 19 August 2024 is here investigated. A thunderstorm occurred during the sinking, but uncertainties exist regarding whether a waterspout or a downburst affected the ship. An in‐depth analysis of available observations highlighted that the ship was likely struck

Numerical Simulation And Scaling Of Thunderstorm Downburst Outflows [PDF]
, 2021 A downburst is a natural phenomenon that occurs during thunderstorms, creating hazards and damage to infrastructure due to the strong winds produced. This research contributes to the current literature by applying the Lundgren et al. scaling parameters (R0, T0, V0) to scale cooling source (CS) downburst simulations.
