Hazardous weather affecting European airports: Climatological estimates of situations with limited visibility, thunderstorm, low-level wind shear and snowfall from ERA5

open access: yes, 2020
The consistently growing demand for airline transportation has resulted in increased air traffic and air operations in airports across the world. According to the International Air Transport Association, forecasts assume that in the year 2036 about 7.8 ...

Vertical profile characteristics of thunderstorm outflows

open access: yes, 2020
The dynamic complexity and the limited spatiotemporal structure of thunderstorms make the collection of reliable and systematic measurements of this phenomenon, which are definitely needed to evaluate its action on structures, challenging.

Thunderstorm Downbursts and Wind Loading of Structures: Progress and Prospect

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

An evolutionary power spectral density model of thunderstorm outflows consistent with real-scale time-history records

open access: yesJournal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 2020
This paper presents a new approach for modelling the evolutionary power spectral density (EPSD) of thunderstorm outflows based on a database of 129 real-scale thunderstorm time-histories.

Impactful Weather and Multi‐Hazard Events: Lived Experiences From Rural Scotland

open access: yesClimate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 1, June 2026.
This study explores stakeholders’ experiences of impactful weather events and multi‐hazards—whose frequency and severity are evolving due to climate change—using surveys of 43 participants and 12 follow‐up interviews from respondents in rural Scotland as a case study.

Enhancing Regional Ensemble‐Variational Data Assimilation for Convection‐Permitting Prediction With Combination of the Dual‐Localization and Scales Blending of Global and Regional Ensembles

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This study proposes a new scheme combining ensemble blending and dual‐localization of ensemble error covariance in an ensemble‐variational (EnVar) framework to better account for both the multi‐scale characteristics of the background and background error covariance for high‐resolution data assimilation and forecasting.

Epidemic Thunderstorm Asthma: Lessons Learned from the Storm Down-Under.

open access: yesJournal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice, 2020
Epidemic thunderstorm asthma (ETSA) is a global health problem that can strike without sufficient warning and can have catastrophic consequences. Because of climate change, future events are likely to become more common, more disastrous, and more ...

The climate of Malta : statistics, trends and analysis 1951-2010 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Malta’s climate can be described in the context of the topography of the Mediterranean basin where the flow of the lower atmosphere into the basin occurs mainly through mountain gaps, except over the southern shores east of Tunisia.The seasonal ...

Homogenisation of Wind Data for the Period 1997–2023 in Hungary and Analysis of Different Methods Used for Deriving Daily Wind Data

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 2, February 2026.
To bridge the discrepancy between pre‐1997 sparse wind observations and post‐1997 high‐frequency data, we simulate historical daily wind observations from 10‐min data (1997–2023). These simulations enable spatially consistent wind speed estimations across Hungary using MASH homogenisation and MISH interpolation, with seasonal differences evaluated ...

Characteristics of intense winds in mountain area based on field measurement: Focusing on thunderstorm winds

open access: yesJournal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 2019
With the development of mountain areas, more wind-sensitive infrastructures are constructed. In the design of these infrastructures, the wind loading cannot be accurately obtained from the code based on the flat area.
