Influence of vertical wind shear on wind- and rainfall areas of tropical cyclones making landfall over South Korea. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 The wind- and rainfall areas of tropical cyclones (TCs) making landfall over South Korea were examined for the period 1998-2013 by using the Modern Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, version 2 (MERRA-2) and Tropical Rainfall ...

Environmental sensitivities of shallow-cumulus dilution – Part 2: Vertical wind profile [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021 This second part of a numerical study on shallow-cumulus dilution focuses on the sensitivity of cloud dilution to changes in the vertical wind profile. Insights are obtained through large-eddy simulations of maritime and continental cloud fields.

On the occurrence of strong vertical wind shear in the tropopause region: a 10-year ERA5 northern hemispheric study [PDF]
Weather and Climate Dynamics, 2021 A climatology of the occurrence of strong wind shear in the upper troposphere–lower stratosphere (UTLS) is presented, which gives rise to defining a tropopause shear layer (TSL).

Heavy snowfall event over the Swiss Alps: did wind shear impact secondary ice production? [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023 The change in wind direction and speed with height, referred to as vertical wind shear, causes enhanced turbulence in the atmosphere. As a result, there are enhanced interactions between ice particles that break up during collisions in clouds which could

The formation of sporadic E layers by a vortical perturbation excited in a horizontal wind shear flow [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2008 The formation of the mid-latitude sporadic E layers (Es layers) by an atmospheric vortical perturbation excited in a horizontal shear flow (horizontal wind with a horizontal linear shear) is investigated.

Some aspects of fluctuating vertical wind shears [PDF]
Solar Energy, 1983 Abstract Fluctuating vertical shears of wind speed have been measured using anemometers on an array of towers. The statistical distributions of these shears are compared with formulas proposed by Fichtl and good agreement is found. A comparison of Fichtl's formula for σΔu, the standard deviation of the fluctuating shears, with a more empirical one ...
