How Wind Shear Affects Trade‐wind Cumulus Convection [PDF]
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2020 Motivated by an observed relationship between marine low cloud cover and surface wind speed, this study investigates how vertical wind shear affects trade‐wind cumulus convection, including shallow cumulus and congestus with tops below the freezing level.

Historical analysis (2001–2019) of low‐level wind shear at the Hong Kong International Airport
Meteorological Applications, 2022 This paper analyses over 10,000 quality‐controlled pilot reports of low‐level wind shear (‘wind shear’) at the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA; ICAO code: VHHH) between 2001 and 2019.

Wind Shear Prediction from Light Detection and Ranging Data Using Machine Learning Methods
Atmosphere, 2021 The main aim of this paper is to propose a statistical indicator for wind shear prediction from Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) observational data. Accurate warning signal of wind shear is particularly important for aviation safety.

Soil moisture gradients strengthen mesoscale convective systems by increasing wind shear. [PDF]
Nat GeosciMesoscale convective systems are a class of storm linked to extensive flooding and other destructive hazards in many regions globally. In West Africa, soil moisture impacts provide a valuable source of predictability for mature storm hazards, but little ...

Modeling the effect of wind speed and direction shear on utility‐scale wind turbine power production [PDF]
Wind Energy, 2023 Wind speed and direction variations across the rotor affect power production. As utility‐scale turbines extend higher into the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) with larger rotor diameters and hub heights, they increasingly encounter more complex wind ...
