Tracking a tropical cyclone through WRF–ARW simulation and sensitivity of model physics
Islam, Tanvir; Srivastava, Prashant; Rico-Ramirez, Miguel; … - In: Natural Hazards 76 (2015) 3, pp. 1473-1495
The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model’s Advanced Research WRF (ARW) dynamic solver is one of the most popular regional numerical weather prediction models being used by operational and research personnel. In this study, we simulate a tropical cyclone to reproduce the track direction...

Thunderstorm Hazard vulnerability for the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan region
Paulikas, Marius; Ashley, Walker - In: Natural Hazards 58 (2011) 3, pp. 1077-1092
Most U.S. metropolitan regions have experienced urban “sprawl,” or the outward spreading of urban development from city centers. For cities lying in areas prone to severe weather, the sprawl phenomenon exposes greater numbers of developed areas and inhabitants to a variety of thunderstorm...

An atmospheric instability derived with MODIS profile using real-time direct broadcast data over the Indian region
Mitra, A.; Sharma, A.; Bajpai, Ishwar; Kundu, P. - In: Natural Hazards 63 (2012) 2, pp. 1007-1023
In this study, assessing the atmospheric instability, a new index, named here as MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) profile index (MPI), has been statistically computed using temperature and moisture profile data from the real-time direct broadcast receiving systems installed...

Atmospheric and Climatic Hazards: Improved Monitoring and Prediction for Disaster Mitigation
Nicholls, Neville - In: Natural Hazards 23 (2001) 2, pp. 137-155
The last few years have seen enormous damage and lossof life from climate and weather phenomena. The mostdamaging events have included the severe 1997/98 ElNiño (with its near-global impacts), HurricaneMitch, and floods in China in mid-1998. What have welearnt regarding the causes, variability,...

Transient Thunderstorm Downbursts and Their Effects on Wind Turbines
Nguyen, Hieu H.; Manuel, Lance - In: Energies 7 (2014) 10, pp. 6527-6548
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Standard 61400-1 for the design of wind turbines does not explicitly address site-specific conditions associated with anomalous atmospheric events or conditions. Examples of off-standard atmospheric conditions include thunderstorm downbursts,...
