In a large number of previous studies, the technical wind energy potential was estimated
from national to global scale. Usually, it was assumed that the underlying meteorological …

Natural hazards have a great number of influencing factors. Machine-learning approaches
have been employed to understand the individual and joint relations of these factors …

The statistical air density distribution was modeled on a high-spatial resolution scale (200
m× 200 m) and the error by using constant standard air density was estimated using …

Based on 12 global circulation models, the simulated changes in empirical 10 m wind speed
distributions under the representative concentration pathway RCP8. 5 were quantified. It is …

Resilient ecosystems provide natural insurance value, or resilience value, to the landowner
and to society at large. In response to global calls for integrating biodiversity in sector policy …

The intermittent and stochastic nature of the wind resource complicates constant electricity
supply in countries with high wind energy share in the electricity mix. Therefore, the goal of …

Windstorms cause major disturbances in European forests. Forest management can play a
key role in making forests more persistent to disturbances. However, better information is …

Doppler wind lidars (DWLs) have increasingly been used over the last decade to derive the
mean wind in the atmospheric boundary layer. DWLs allow the determination of wind vector …

Key message Windstorms have recently caused noteworthy destruction across the Northern
forests of Turkey. The intensive forest management practices applied for more than 60+ …

Quantifying wind loads acting on forest trees remains a major challenge of wind-tree-
interaction research. Under wind loading, trees respond with a complex motion pattern to the …
