Effects of the urban land use on a severe convective windstorm

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 151, Issue 773, October 2025 Part B.
Numerical simulations with the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with the Building Effect Parametrization–Building Energy Model multilayer canopy model were conducted to investigate the impact of urban land use on a severe convective windstorm in Milan, northern Italy, on July 25, 2023.

A multi‐hazard analysis framework for earthquake‐damaged tall buildings subject to thunderstorm downbursts

Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2023
AbstractThis study develops a generalised multi‐hazard analysis framework for evaluating the impact of secondary hazard events on structures that have previously been damaged by major hazardous events. More specifically, the present work investigates the effects of thunderstorm downbursts on earthquake‐damaged tall steel buildings giving an emphasis in

A study of the 23 October 2022 southern England damaging MCS

Weather, Volume 80, Issue 10, Page 324-334, October 2025.
During the afternoon of 23 October 2022, a mesoscale convective system (MCS) developed and intensified over the English Channel and tracked north‐northeastward into southern England, producing widespread damaging winds and at least three moderate to strong tornadoes in Hampshire.

A Monte Carlo Simulation Study of Wind Turbine Loads in Thunderstorm Downbursts

52nd AIAA/ASME/ASCE/AHS/ASC Structures, Structural Dynamics and Materials Conference, 2011
AbstractThe simulation of thunderstorm downbursts and associated loads on a utility‐scale wind turbine is the focus of this study. Using a deterministic–stochastic hybrid model, downburst‐related wind fields are generated separately from non‐turbulent and turbulent parts. The non‐turbulent part builds on available analytical models developed from field

Evaluation of Monin‐Obukhov Similarity Theory Wind Profiles in Convective Storm Environments and Cold Pools at the ARM Southern Great Plains Atmospheric Observatory

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 18, 28 September 2025.
Abstract Monin‐Obukhov similarity theory (MOST) is widely used in numerical weather prediction to model surface fluxes of momentum, heat, and water vapor. However, MOST is based on assumptions of steady state and horizontally homogeneous turbulence that can lead to prediction errors in and around convective storms.

Sensitivity of inflow turbulence uncertainty on wind pressure on high‐rise buildings using large eddy simulations

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 22, Page 3430-3450, 9 September 2025.
Abstract Large eddy simulations (LES) can aid the prediction of wind loading on buildings, provided that representative inflow turbulence properties are prescribed. This study conducts LES to assess the sensitivity of the mean, root mean square (rms) fluctuation, and peak pressure coefficients (Cp) on building surfaces to the uncertainties in the ...

Scientific challenges of convective-scale numerical weather prediction [PDF]

, 2018
Numerical weather prediction (NWP) models are increasing in resolution and becoming capable of explicitly representing individual convective storms. Is this increase in resolution leading to better forecasts?

Observations of a frontal–trough merger over a wildfire, Queensland, Australia

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 151, Issue 771, July 2025 Part B.
Observations are presented of the meteorology of a frontal–trough merger in subtropical Australia which impacted a wildfire. An elevated nocturnal mixed layer above approx. 2500 m with increasing moisture with height was identified as the source of instability that resulted in the formation of elevated storms along a 300‐km frontal–trough boundary ...

Exploiting the full potential of Doppler lidars: High‐resolution wind‐gust profiling in significant weather

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 151, Issue 769, April 2025 Part B.
The evolution of wind gusts is difficult to observe because gusts are short‐lived phenomena that can originate at higher altitudes. During the Field Experiment on Sub‐mesoscale Spatio‐Temporal Variability in Lindenberg (FESSTVaL), novel ground‐based remote‐sensing methodologies were applied to measure wind with Doppler lidars in order to provide the ...

Damaging thunderstorms in Finland in June 2021

Weather, Volume 80, Issue 4, Page 111-119, April 2025.
Thunderstorms are common in Finland, however, high‐impact damaging cases do not occur every summer. On 21–23 June 2021, three damaging thunderstorms, named Ahti, Paula and Aatu, occurred in Finland. We provide an overview of the thunderstorms and their environment and impacts.
