Freak wind gusts made worse by climate change threaten airline passenger safety
New research suggests global warming is increasing the frequency and intensity of wind gusts from thunderstorm downbursts, with serious consequences for air travel.
Our new research suggests global warming is increasing the frequency and intensity of wind gusts from thunderstorm “downbursts”, with serious consequences for air travel. For aircraft, the main problem with thunderstorms is the risk of hazardous, rapid changes in wind strength and direction at low levels. Our extensive regional case study identified the weather patterns that create severe thunderstorms in eastern Australia during the warmer months.
