Well worth a few hours of your time if you're in the area, David When did storms become "windstorms"? Is that an American usage? To me, "storm" implies high winds (except for the word "thunderstorm"), so that the "wind" part of "windstorm" is redundant. -- John Hall "The beatings will continue until morale improves."

I think you can blame the insurance industry for this. We've used Windstorm to describe the named storms by the DWD that go on to create significant (of the orders of €bn) loss. I think it came around to distinguish windstorms (low frequency, high severity) from summertime storms (high frequency, low severity) in terms of loss.. The models that insurers use to estimate the typical yearly impact of these events actually call them "European Windstorms" if you want to get really long-winded about things. Going back to the original poster - I'll embarrass him now by saying that he's too modest to say that he's done all the WRF modelling on the above paper with Keith's gargantuan experience as guiding input... Cheers, Richard |
