The analysis shows that seven weak small mesoscale vortexes of tens of kilometers, correspondent to surface low trough or mesoscale centers, in the planetary boundary layer （PBL） in the mei-yu front were heavily responsible for the heavy rainfall. Sometimes, several weak small-scale vortexes in the PBL could form a vortex group, some of which would weaken locally, and some would develop to be a meso-α-scale low vortex through combination. The initial dynamical triggering mechanism was related to two strong currents： one was the northeast flow in the PBL at the rear of the mei-yu front, the vortexes occurred exactly at the side of the northeast flow; and the other was the strong southwest low-level jet （LLJ） in front of the Mei-yu front, which moved to the upper of the vortexes. Consequently, there were notable horizontal and vertical wind shears to form positive vorticity in the center of the southwest LLJ. The development of mesoscale convergence in the PBL and divergence above, as well as the vertical positive vorticity column, were related to the small wind column above the nose-shaped velocity contours of the northeast flow embedding southwestward in the PBL, which intensified the horizontal wind shear and the positive vorticity column above the vortexes, baroclinicity and instability.展开更多

Thus the resulting equations of the second moments of turbulent velocity fluctuations for the two kinds of large vortexes can be made closed. Meanwhile, the corresponding coefficients of diffusion in the previous paper[1] are improved,Finally, a closed set of numerically-solvable equations of turbulence model are obtained.展开更多

It point out that the merging and strengthening of GHV is one of the basic reasons for triggering the Xingtai earthquake. It is worthy to pay attention that the earthquake precursors ( for example ground temperature …) does not clear with the shorter distance from the epicenter. It is an urgent task for earthquake prediction to strengthen the supervision of some spatial temporal continuous elements (such as G.T, geomagnetism, ground tilt field, gravity, etc.) and carry out comprehensive analysis.展开更多

The effect of noncanonical strength, off-axis distance and vortex sign on spatial correlation singularities in far field is stressed. Furthermore, far-field OAM spectra and densities are also investigated, and the OAM detection and crosstalk probabilities are discussed. The results show that the number of dislocations of SCS always equals the sum of absolute values of topological charges for canonical or noncanonical vortex pairs. Although the sum of the product of each OAM mode and its power weight equals the algebraic sum of topological charges for canonical vortex pairs, the relationship no longer holds in the noncanonical case except for opposite-charge vortex pairs. The changes of off-axis distance, noncanonical strength or coherence length can lead to a more dominant power in adjacent mode than that in center detection mode, which also indicates that crosstalk probabilities of adjacent modes exceed the center detection probability. This work may provide potential applications in OAM-based optical communication, imaging, sensing and computing.展开更多

文摘Acoustic-vortex(AV)tweezers ensure stable particle trapping at a zero-pressure center,while particle assembly between two vortex cores is still prevented by the high-potential barrier.Although a one-dimensional low-pressure attractive path of particle assembly can be constructed by the interference between two independent cylindrical Bessel beams,it remains challenging to create two-dimensional(2D)neighboring vortexes using a source array in practical applications.In this paper,a three-step phase-reversal strategy of 2D particle assembly based on the synchronized evolution of a centrosymmetric array of M off-axis acoustic vortexes(OA-AVs)with a preset radial offset is proposed based on a ring array of planar sources.By introducing initial vortex phase differences of-2π/M and+2π/M to the vortex array,low-pressure patterns of an M-sided regular polygon and M-branched star are formed by connecting the vortex cores and the field center before and after the tangent state of adjacent OA-AVs.Center-oriented particle assembly is finally realized by a central AV constructed by coincident in-phase OA-AVs.The capability of particle manipulation in the lateral and radial directions is demonstrated by low-pressure patterns with acoustic radiation forces pointing to the field center during a synchronized central approach.The field evolution is certified by experimental field measurements for OA-AVs with different vo rtex numbers,initial vortex phase differences,and radial offsets using a ring array of 16 planar sources.The feasibility of particle assembly in two dimensions is also verified by the accurate manipulation of four particles using the low-pressure patterns of a four-sided polygon,a four-branched star,and a central AV in experiments.The three-step strategy paves a new way for 2D particle assembly based on the synchronize d evolution of centrosymmetric OA-AVs using a simplified single-sided source array,exhibiting excellent potential for the precise navigation and manipulation of cells and particles in biomedical applications.

文摘A mei-yu front process in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River on 23 June 1999 was simulated by using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University-NCAR （PSU/NCAR） Mesoscale Model （MM5） with FDDA （Four Dimension Data Assimilation）. The analysis shows that seven weak small mesoscale vortexes of tens of kilometers, correspondent to surface low trough or mesoscale centers, in the planetary boundary layer （PBL） in the mei-yu front were heavily responsible for the heavy rainfall. Sometimes, several weak small-scale vortexes in the PBL could form a vortex group, some of which would weaken locally, and some would develop to be a meso-α-scale low vortex through combination. The initial dynamical triggering mechanism was related to two strong currents： one was the northeast flow in the PBL at the rear of the mei-yu front, the vortexes occurred exactly at the side of the northeast flow; and the other was the strong southwest low-level jet （LLJ） in front of the Mei-yu front, which moved to the upper of the vortexes. Consequently, there were notable horizontal and vertical wind shears to form positive vorticity in the center of the southwest LLJ. The development of mesoscale convergence in the PBL and divergence above, as well as the vertical positive vorticity column, were related to the small wind column above the nose-shaped velocity contours of the northeast flow embedding southwestward in the PBL, which intensified the horizontal wind shear and the positive vorticity column above the vortexes, baroclinicity and instability.

文摘A statistical analysis of the initial vortexes leading to tropical cyclone(TC)formation in the western North Pacific(WNP)is conducted with the ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis data from 1999 to 2018.It is found that TCs in the WNP basically originate from three kinds of vortexes,i.e.,a mid-level vortex(MV),a low-level vortex(LV),and a relatively deep vortex with notable vorticity in both the lower and middle troposphere(DV).Among them,LV and DV account for 47.9%and 24.2%of tropical cyclogenesis events,respectively,while only 27.9%of TCs develop from the MV,which is much lower than that which occurs in the North Atlantic and eastern Pacific.Such a difference might be ascribed to the active monsoon systems in the WNP all year round.Due to the nearly upright structure of mid-level convergence in the early pre-genesis stage,TC genesis efficiency is the highest in DV.Compared with MV,LV generally takes a shorter time to intensify to a TC because of the higher humidity and the stronger low-level cyclonic circulation,which is related to air-sea interaction and boundary-layer convergence.Further examination of the relationship between tropical cyclogenesis and large-scale flow patterns indicate that the TC genesis events associated with LV are primarily related to the monsoon shear line,monsoon confluence region,and monsoon gyre,while those associated with MV are frequently connected with easterly waves and wave energy dispersion of preexisting TC.Compared with other flow patterns,tropical cyclones usually form and intensify faster in the monsoon confluence region.

文摘This paper presents a new kind of everage for the loeally-generated large vortexes so that the physieal quantities of the locally-generated large vortexes and the external large vortexes canberigorously separated from the equal ions for the large vortexes proposed in a previous paper[1] To the equations for the two kinds of large vortexes, some auxiliary relations are introduced, and the value, of the length-scale lN of energy dissipation of the external large vortexes may he determined according to the actual circumstances of the disturbance of external sources. Thus the resulting equations of the second moments of turbulent velocity fluctuations for the two kinds of large vortexes can be made closed. Meanwhile, the corresponding coefficients of diffusion in the previous paper[1] are improved,Finally, a closed set of numerically-solvable equations of turbulence model are obtained.

文摘Orientations of laser induced periodic surface structures(LIPSS)are usually considered to be governed by the laser polarization state.In this work,we unveil that fluid dynamics induced by femtosecond(fs)laser ablation in liquid(fs-LAL)can easily break this polarization restriction to produce irregular circular-LIPSS(CLIPPS)and crisscross-LIPSS(CCLIPSS).Fs laser ablation of silicon in water shows formation of diverse LIPSS depending on ablation conditions.At a high power of 700 mW(repetition rate of 100 kHz,pulse duration of 457 fs and wavelength of 1045 nm),single/twin CLIPSS are produced at the bottom of macropores of several microns in diameter due to the formation of strong liquid vortexes and occurrence of the vortex shedding effect.Theoretical simulations validate our speculation about the formation of liquid vortex with an ultrahigh static pressure,which can induce the microstructure trenches and cracks at the sidewalls for fs-LAL of Si and tungsten(W)in water,respectively.At a low power of 50 mW,weak liquid vortexes are produced,which only give birth to curved LIPSS in the valleys of grooves.Consequently,it is deduced that liquid vortex plays a crucial role in the formation of macropores.Mountain-like microstructures induce complex fluid dynamics which can cause the formation of CCLIPSS on them.It is believed that liquid vortexes and fluid dynamics presented in this work open up new possibilities to diversify the morphologies of LIPSS formed by fs-LAL.

文摘The northeastern China cold vortex(NCCV)plays an important role in regional rainstorms over East Asia.Using the National Centers for Environmental Prediction Final reanalysis dataset and the Global Precipitation Measurement product,an objective algorithm for identifying heavy-precipitation NCCV(HPCV)events was designed,and the climatological features of 164 HPCV events from 2001 to 2019 were investigated.The number of HPCV events showed an upward linear trend,with the highest frequency of occurrence in summer.The most active region of HPCV samples was the Northeast China Plain between 40°–55°N.Most HPCV events lasted 3–5 days and had radii ranging from 250 to 1000 km.The duration of HPCV events with larger sizes was longer.About half of the HPCV events moved into(moved out of)the definition region(35°–60°N,115°–145°E),and half initiated(dissipated)within the region.The initial position was close to the western boundary of the definition region,and the final position was mainly near the eastern boundary.The locations associated with the precipitation were mostly concentrated within 2000 km southeast of the HPCV systems,and they were farther from the center in the cold season than in the warm season.

文摘Using the NCEP 1°×1°reanalysis data,several obvious differences of the structural characteristics of developed versus undeveloped mid-level vortexes are studied.First,the central vorticity of the developed mid-level vortex increases towards higher levels while the undeveloped one decreases.The low-level convergence structure maintains well in the developed mid-level vortex whereas the undeveloped one does badly.Second,on the one hand,according to the symmetric analysis,the horizontal wind field and wind vertical section of the developed mid-level vortex are well symmetric while those of the undeveloped one are less symmetric.Meanwhile,weak wind vertical shear help the developed mid-level vortex to establish a warm core in upper-and mid-levels of the troposphere.On the other hand,according to the balance analysis,better balance between wind and pressure is shown in the mid-and lower-levels of the troposphere of the developed mid-level vortex than in those of the undeveloped vortex.Third,positive anomaly of potential vorticity is enhanced and developed in the vertical direction of the developed vortex.However,the undeveloped vortex weakens with a weak positive anomaly.
文摘In the three-vortex model theory of turbulence[1,2] and double and the triple velocity correlation functions of small vortexes were employed.

Finally, by using these coefficients, the decay of grid-produced trubulence is calculated. The result of calculations gives good agreement with the experimental data of G.K.

文摘The effect of nanosecond pulsed dielectric barrier discharge(NS-DBD) plasma flow separation control is closely related to the actuation frequency,because it involves the interaction between plasma-induced vortexes and separated flow.In order to study the mechanism of NS-DBD plasma flow separation control over a swept wing,especially the influence of the actuation frequency,at first,experimental studies of the actuation frequencies at 100 Hz are conducted to validate the numerical simulation method.Then,numerical studies of different actuation frequencies which are 50 Hz,100 Hz,160 Hz,200 Hz,500 Hz,and 1000 Hz,respectively are conducted.The interaction between the plasma-induced vortexes and the separated flow is analyzed.Results show that there is a range of the actuation frequency which includes the frequency(160 Hz) calculated by the average aerodynamic chord length to make the control effect good,but when the actuation frequencies are too low(50 Hz) or too high(1000 Hz),the control effect will get worse.The former is because plasmainduced vortexes disappear in a period within an actuation cycle;the latter is because plasma-induced vortexes cannot develop completely,resulting in a weak vortex intensity.
文摘The occurrence process of the Xingtai earthquake (1996) is discussed on the basis of evolution of small scale ground temperature fields on the background of large ground temperature field. It point out that the merging and strengthening of GHV is one of the basic reasons for triggering the Xingtai earthquake. It is worthy to pay attention that the earthquake precursors ( for example ground temperature …) does not clear with the shorter distance from the epicenter. It is an urgent task for earthquake prediction to strengthen the supervision of some spatial temporal continuous elements (such as G.T, geomagnetism, ground tilt field, gravity, etc.) and carry out comprehensive analysis.

文摘In this study,an objective algorithm to identify meso-γ-scale vortexes(MVs)using radial velocity observations from an S-band radar is developed.Then,for the 237 Extreme Hourly Precipitation(EXHP;>75 mm)records at the surface weather stations in the Pearl River Delta(PRD)during five warm seasons,the properties and environmental conditions of the EXHP-associated MVs are analyzed.Further,the spatiotemporal distributions of the MV,instantaneous rain rate,and EXHP are illustrated for three events with the most abundant EXHP records.The major findings are as follows.About 42%EXHP records are accompanied by 57 MVs,including 84%of weak shear intensity,12%of weak mesocyclone intensity,and 4%of moderate mesocyclone intensity,with the rotational speeds between 5 and12 m s^(-1),12 and 16 m s^(-1),and 16 and 21 m s^(-1),respectively.The duration and core depth of the MVs are highly correlated(coefficient of 0.67)with averages of 39 min and 699 m,respectively.The hourly rainfall accumulation of an EXHP tends to increase with the influencing duration of MVs on the EXHP,while a majority of MVs might result from the EXHP-associated forcing such as condensational latent heating.Relative to the EXHP events with MVs in the United States,those in the PRD feature smaller environmental 0-3-km storm relative helicity(SRH)and 0-1-km vertical wind shear(VWS).However,compared to the non-rotational EXHP in the PRD,the rotational EXHP events are associated with significantly higher 0-1-km VWS,0-3-km SRH,humidity,and larger convective available potential energy.In the three selected events,rainstorms exhibit an irregular shape,a quasi-circular shape,and a quasi-banded shape of strong echo,respectively.The MVs are often located inside the strong radar reflectivity region,and some are next to its bow-shaped portion.Those longer-lived MVs with stronger rotation are collocated with the extreme 6-min rainfall accumulation(≥10 mm)in space and time,suggesting presence of positive feedback between low-level rotation and short-term rain rate.In the event influenced by a tropical storm,four MVs appear at almost the same location in succession and move along roughly the same path,forming an MV back-building process.

文摘This study presents a comprehensive analysis of 132 tornadic events in northeastern China from 2004 to 2023,utilizing radar and ERA5 reanalysis data to investigate the climatology,environmental drivers,and synoptic linkages with Northeast China cold vortices(NCCVs)of tornadic storms under different convective modes.Results reveal that discrete storms account for 70%of events,with clustered cells(CC)being the most frequent mode,while significant tornadoes(EF2+)are primarily associated with isolated cells(IC)and broken lines(BL).The storm mode distribution in northeastern China resembles that of the central United States but with a higher proportion of CC and lower IC.In contrast,southern China exhibits a higher frequency of quasi-linear(QL)modes(>50%),similar to European patterns.Although no single parameter clearly differentiates between all tornado modes,distinct morphological characteristics emerge through specific parameter combinations:NL modes are characterized by high 0-1 km storm-relative helicity(SRH1)and humidity but low 0-6 km shear(SR6),whereas IC modes display contrasting features with low SRH1 and high CAPE.Notably,83%of tornadoes are associated with NCCVs,preferentially forming in southeastern/southwestern quadrants.Strong tornadoes favor southeastern quadrants,while NCCV intensity correlates with tornadic distance from vortex centers.Three characteristic synoptic configurations emerge:(T1)strong deep vortices with vertically aligned cold troughs,generating southeast-dominant tornado clusters characterized by a high proportion of BL and QL modes;(T2)weaker vortices featuring sub-synoptic troughs,with southern-distributed events dominated by a predominance of the CC mode;(T3)transverse-trough systems exhibiting CAPE-SRH decoupling and reduced tornadic activity.This study enhances our understanding of tornadoes in northeastern China,informing future research on formation mechanisms,prediction methods,and disaster prevention strategies.

文摘By using the twice-daily atmospheric observation data from 1998 to 2012,station rainfall data,Tropical Rainfall Measure Mission（TRMM） data,as well as the plateau vortex and shear line year book,characteristics of the sustained departure plateau vortexes（SDPVs） are analyzed.Some new useful observational facts and understanding are obtained about the SDPV activities.The following results are obtained.（1）The active period of SDPVs is from June to August,most in July,unlike that of the unsustained departure plateau vortexes（UDPVs）,which have same occurrence frequencies in the three summer months.（2）The SDPVs,generated mainly in the Qumalai neighborhood and situated in a sheared surrounding,move eastward or northeastward,while the UDPVs are mainly led by the upper-level trough,and move eastward or southeastward.（3） The SDPVs influence wide areas of China,even far to the Korean Peninsula,Japan,and Vietnam.（4） The SDPVs change their intensities and properties on the way to the east.Most of them become stronger and produce downpour or sustained regional rainstorms to the south of Yellow River.（5）The longer the SDPV sustains,the more baroclinity it has.（6） When an SDPV moves into the sea,its central pressure descends and rainfall increases in all probability.（7） An SDPV might spin over the bend of the Yellow River when there exists a tropical cyclone in the East China Sea.It could also move oppositely to a landed tropical low pressure originated from the sea to the east of Taiwan or from the South China Sea.
文摘Vortexes induced by tsunamis,“tsunami vortexes”,pose a potential danger for ship evacuation,and their prediction is important to determine their role in navigation and safe vessel evacuation.This study simulated tsunami-induced vortexes in Osaka Bay and investigated their spatial and temporal scales using a port-resolved,high-resolution tsunami model based on a scenario for the largest tsunamigenic earthquake expected to occur along the Nankai Trough in the near future.Vortexes induced by tidal currents were also evaluated using a realistic tidal simulation for comparison with the magnitudes of the tsunami vortexes.The tsunami simulation identified the dominant areas of the tsunami vortexes characterized by the magnitude of the vorticity.Unified maps of tsunami speeds and vortexes showed the difficult areas for ship evacuation and indicated that these areas can persist after the approach of the leading wave around the entrances to port areas.The areas of tsunami vortex formation were largely deduced by analyzing the vorticity fields in the tidal simulations,because the magnitude of tsunami-induced vorticities was closely correlated with that of the tide-induced vorticities.The combination of tide and tsunami simulations can identify areas of tsunami vortex formation and provide valuable information to guide measures for safer vessel evacuation.

文摘This study investigates extreme rainfall episodes along the eastern foothills of the Taihang Mountains in North China from 30 July to 1 August 2023.It focuses on two types of extreme hourly rainfall rates(HRRs),i.e.,the maximum regionalaverage HRR and site-observed HRR,which exhibited sequential development over southern,middle,and northern key regions.These rainfall extremes occurred in an environment where a high-pressure barrier over North China prevented the intrusion of cold air masses from the north while a northward-moving typhoon remnant vortex and its associated low-level jet(LLJ)transported warm and moist airflow from the south.Two distinct echo evolution modes and convection initiation mechanisms are identified for the two types of extreme HRRs.The maximum regional-average HRR occurred when the LLJ arrived to the east of the key regions,while the maximum site-observed HRR occurred when the warmer vortex center influenced the regions.Taking the northern key region as a representation,at the time of the maximum regional-average HRR,slantwise ascent of the airflow along a warm-frontal-like boundary released energy related to symmetrical instability,resulting in stratiform rainfall with weak convective cores.The transport of locally initiated convection over the eastern plain region,where the atmospheric stratification was more potentially unstable,also significantly contributed.When the maximum site-observed HRR occurred,the terrain lifting of warm and moist southeast airflow led to intense convection over the mountain foothills.Overall,the passage of the warm-core typhoon remnant vortex and interaction with Taihang Mountains determined the timing and location of extreme HRRs across the key regions.

文摘In recent years,train-tail swaying of 160 km/h electric multiple units(EMUs)inside single-line tunnels has been heavily researched,because the issue needs to be solved urgently.In this paper,a co-simulation model of vortex-induced vibration(VIV)of the tail car body is established,and the aerodynamics of train-tail swaying is studied.The simulation results were confirmed through a field test of operating EMUs.Furthermore,the influence mechanism of train-tail swaying on the wake flow field is studied in detail through a wind-tunnel experiment and a simulation of a reduced-scaled train model.The results demonstrate that the aerodynamic force frequency(i.e.,vortex-induced frequency)of the train tail increases linearly with train speed.When the train runs at 130 km/h,with a small amplitude of train-tail swaying(within 10 mm),the vortex-induced frequency is 1.7 Hz,which primarily depends on the nose shape of the train tail.After the tail car body nose is extended,the vortex-induced frequency is decreased.As the swaying amplitude of the train tail increases(exceeding 25 mm),the separation point of the high-intensity vortex in the train wake shifts downstream to the nose tip,and the vortex-induced frequency shifts from 1.7 Hz to the nearby car body hunting(i.e.,the primary hunting)frequency of 1.3 Hz,which leads to the frequency-locking phenomenon of VIV,and the resonance intensifies train-tail swaying.For the motor vehicle of the train tail,optimization of the yaw damper to improve its primary hunting stability can effectively alleviate train-tail swaying inside single-line tunnels.Optimization of the tail car body nose shape reduces the amplitude of the vortex-induced force,thereby weakening the aerodynamic effect and solving the problem of train-tail swaying inside the single-line tunnels.
文摘By introducing noncanonical vortex pairs to partially coherent beams, spatial correlation singularity (SCS) and orbital angular momenta (OAM) of the resulting beams are studied using the Fraunhofer diffraction integral. The effect of noncanonical strength, off-axis distance and vortex sign on spatial correlation singularities in far field is stressed. Furthermore, far-field OAM spectra and densities are also investigated, and the OAM detection and crosstalk probabilities are discussed. The results show that the number of dislocations of SCS always equals the sum of absolute values of topological charges for canonical or noncanonical vortex pairs. Although the sum of the product of each OAM mode and its power weight equals the algebraic sum of topological charges for canonical vortex pairs, the relationship no longer holds in the noncanonical case except for opposite-charge vortex pairs. The changes of off-axis distance, noncanonical strength or coherence length can lead to a more dominant power in adjacent mode than that in center detection mode, which also indicates that crosstalk probabilities of adjacent modes exceed the center detection probability. This work may provide potential applications in OAM-based optical communication, imaging, sensing and computing.

文摘The generation of optical vortices from nonlinear photonic crystals(NPCs)with spatially modulated second-order nonlinearity offers a promising approach to extend the working wavelength and topological charge of vortex beams for various applications.In this work,the second harmonic(SH)optical vortex beams generated from nonlinear fork gratings under Gaussian beam illumination are numerically investigated.The far-field intensity and phase distributions,as well as the orbital angular momentum(OAM)spectra of the SH beams,are analyzed for different structural topological charges and diffraction orders.Results reveal that higher-order diffraction and larger structural topological charges lead to angular interference patterns and non-uniform intensity distributions,deviating from the standard vortex profile.To optimize the SH vortex quality,the effects of the fundamental wave beam waist,crystal thickness,and grating duty cycle are explored.It is shown that increasing the beam waist can effectively suppress diffraction order interference and improve the beam’s quality.This study provides theoretical guidance for enhancing the performance of nonlinear optical devices based on NPCs.

文摘In mid-April 2025,northern and central-eastern China experienced a catastrophic compound disaster marked by Beaufort 8 or greater wind gusts affecting∼3.5×10^(6)km^(2),exposing∼610 million residents to extreme conditions,with Typhoon-equivalent Beaufort 12 gusts battering Beijing’s Yanshan Mountains and Beaufort 14-15 winds devastating Inner Mongolia.This unprecedented event surpassed historical extremes at 64 weather stations,impacting 996 monitoring sites with winds exceeding the 99th percentile,including 478 stations recording historic top-three maxima.Concurrently,sandstorms engulfed∼4.3×10^(6)km^(2),reaching 18°N,while Hulunbuir faced a 1.5-m snowpack-a 30-year April record.Cascading infrastructure failures resulted in 1884 uprooted trees,approximately¥16.6 million in urban damages(in Beijing),and the collapse of utility-scale photovoltaic systems across northern China and the Huang-Huai region,exacerbating the multi-faceted crisis.A brief analysis indicates the event was primarily driven by a vertically coupled cyclone system featuring a cold vortex at the middle and upper troposphere dynamically aligned with a lower-level cyclone/mesoscale vortex.The intense,deeply coupled cyclone system sustained the wind intensification primarily through its enhanced pressure gradient force and subsidence-induced downward transport of kinetic energy(KE)behind the cyclone’s core.Clarifying the controlling synoptic-scale weather systems and dominant physical mechanisms governing such extreme wind generation is critical for refining predictive models of these high-impact events while advancing the understanding of dynamic interactions within extreme wind regimes.
