Momentum flux associated with gravity waves in the low-latitude troposphere [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2003 The vertical fluxes of horizontal momentum at tropospheric heights are calculated for four days, 25–28 August 1999. The mean zonal wind during these days show the presence of strong westward wind at the upper troposphere.

On the relationship between hurricane cost and the integrated wind profile [PDF]
, 2016 It is challenging to identify metrics that best capture hurricane destructive potential and costs. Although it has been found that the sea surface temperature and vertical wind shear can both make considerable changes to the hurricane destructive ...

Tropical Cyclone Intensity in Vertical Wind Shear
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2004 Abstract The structure and intensity changes of tropical cyclones (TCs) in environmental vertical wind shear (VWS) are investigated in this study using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–National Center for Atmospheric Research (PSU–NCAR) Mesoscale Model (MM5).

The Influence of Vertical Wind Shear on Moist Thermals [PDF]
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2019 AbstractAlthough it is well established that vertical wind shear helps to organize and maintain convective systems, there is a longstanding colloquial notion that it inhibits the development of deep convection. To investigate this idea, the vertical momentum budgets of sheared and unsheared moist thermals were compared in idealized cloud model ...

Characteristics of 50–200-m Winds and Temperatures Derived from an Iowa Tall-Tower Network [PDF]
, 2014 Limitations in skill of wind speed forecasts lead to conservative bids of wind-plant production in the dayahead energy market and usually to an underutilization of wind resources.
