Case study of a severe windstorm over Slovakia and Hungary on 25 June 2008

Doppler radar observations of non‐occluding, cyclic vortex genesis within a long‐lived tornadic storm over southern England

“…Severe convection has been noted elsewhere in association with mid‐level wind maxima near cold fronts (e.g. Gatzen, 2011; Gatzen et al , 2011; Simon et al , 2011). A reverse time–height plot from the Dunkeswell (Devon) wind profiler (Figure 6 (b)) provides a pseudo west–east vertical section through the wind maximum.…”

Hindcast experiments of the derecho in Estonia on 08 August, 2010: Modelling derecho with NWP model HARMONIE

“…Derechos have been numerically simulated in previous studies (e.g., Bernardet et al, 2000;Bernardet and Cotton, 1998;Simon et al, 2011;Weisman et al, 2013;Evans et al, 2014;Fierro et al, 2014). Weisman et al (2013) described successful numerical simulations of the superderecho on May 8, 2009.…”

Squall line over Antalya: a case study of the events of 25 October 2014

“…A large number of studies have used sources of information such as Doppler radar, satellite images and wind data to investigate squall lines (Clark, ; Simon et al , ; Martin et al , ; Takemi, ); such methods are also used in this study. In addition to this, the absence of meteorological atmospheric sounding data with which to establish the vertical atmospheric structure in the study region has led to the use of model data, on numerous occasions, to infer atmospheric structure.…”
