Windstorm Review: Strong November Storms over Mid-Atlantic Region
http://windstormreview.blogspot.com/2010/11/strong-november-storms-over-mid.html
Strong November Storms over Mid-Atlantic Region. Figure 1. GOES-13 WV-IR BTD image at 0615 UTC with overlying radar reflectivity from Sterling, VA NEXRAD. Figure 2. GOES-13 WV-IR BTD image at 0615 UTC with overlying radar velocity from Sterling, Virginia NEXRAD. The Tidal Potomac Region was also effected by the squall line between 0545 and 0630 UTC, as evidenced by high winds recorded by NOAA data buoys and WeatherFlow. Figure 6. GOES-13 WV-IR BTD image at 0632 UTC with overlying radar reflectivity f...

Windstorm Review: Late Winter Squall Line
http://windstormreview.blogspot.com/2011/03/late-winter-squall-line.html
Late Winter Squall Line. GOES Microburst Windspeed Potential Index (. MWPI) product performed effectively during a late winter squall line event that occurred on 28 February 2011. During the morning of 28 February, an intense squall line developed ahead of a cold front over the Appalachian Mountains and tracked through Virginia, eastern West Virginia, and central Maryland. Downburst wind gusts of 37 to 38 knots were recorded by RWIS sensors over western Frederick County, Maryland between 1500 and 1530 UTC.

End of Summer Downbursts in Oklahoma and Validation Results. Figure 1. Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) imager microburst product at 1800 UTC 21 September 2009, with the location of Oklahoma mesonet observations of downburst wind gusts plotted on the image. Validation results for the 2007 to 2009 convective seasons have been completed for the MWPI and imager microburst products. GOES sounder-derived MWPI values have been compared to mesonet observations of downburst winds over.

Windstorm Review: December 2010
http://windstormreview.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
December Begins with a Windstorm. Observing stations. Similar to the 17 November downburst event, the channeling of mid-tropospheric dry air into the core of convective storms provided significant downdraft energy that resulted in high winds. Figure 1. GOES-13 VW-IR brightness temperature difference (BTD) image at 1445 UTC 1 December 2010. Figure 2. Radiosonde observation (RAOB) from Dulles Airport, VA at 1200 UTC 1 December 2010. Figure 3.

The 17 February 2010 South Atlantic Downburst Event: New Findings. During the afternoon of 17 February 2010, the Canadian Sailing Vessel ( SV. Concordia sank off the coast of Brazil due to strong convective storm-generated winds. The SV. Concordia was capsized in a downburst. That occurred near 1722 UTC. About 290 nautical miles south-southeast of Rio de. Capt William Curry, SV. Concordia, personal communication). Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite. 17 February 2010. Location of the SV.

25 January Chesapeake Bay High Wind Event. Figure 1. Radar reflectivity imagery from Baltimore TDWR (BWI) between 1300 and 1330 UTC 25 January 2010. Figure 1 displays an isolated shower moving rapidly from southeast of Washington DC to eastern Baltimore County between 1300 and 1330 UTC, passing just west of the FSK Bridge near 1320 UTC. A wind gust of 52 knots was recorded at the FSK Bridge PORTS station at 1324 UTC. Links to this post. Time (UTC)/Location/Wind Gust (kt)/Lapse Rate (K/km)/dRH (%)/PW (mm).
