On Wind Turbine Loads During Thunderstorm Downbursts in Contrasting Atmospheric Stability Regimes

Severe winds produced by thunderstorm downbursts pose a serious risk to the structural integrity of wind turbines. However, guidelines for wind turbine design (such as the International Electrotechnical Commission Standard, IEC 61400-1) do not describe the key physical characteristics of such events...
