Mesoscale cyclonic storms associated with tornadoes and localised wind damage in frontal rainbands
Weather, Volume 79, Issue 4, Page 108-123, April 2024.Ten cases are identified of an unusual type of mesoscale windstorm in the United Kingdom between 2006 and 2021. The windstorms, which occurred in association with frontal rainbands, produced wind damage swaths no more than 20–30km wide, but sometimes extending for several hundred kilometres, often with embedded tornadoes.

Investigations of simulated aircraft flight through thunderstorm outflows [PDF]
The effects of wind shear on aircraft flying through thunderstorm gust fronts were investigated. A computer program was developed to solve the two dimensional, nonlinear equations of aircraft motion, including wind shear.
