A climatology is developed for damaging downslope windstorms at Boulder, Colorado, based on newspaper accounts since 1869. One hundred and fifty-one documented windstorms provide the data on which statistical and climatological calculations are based. The area affected by downslope windstorms is described, information on the temporal distribution of the windstorms is given, including annual, monthly, and diurnal distributions, and windstorm characteristics are discussed. Wind-related damage is classified by severity and areal extent.
East Troy, WI August 13, 2010 Romance and magic await readers as authors Kenny Rogers and Kay Heigh Blend collaborate to bring a spellbinding collection of poems. WindStorms, their newly released book through Xlibris, are bound to enchant readers from the first page down to the last. As the wind blows with authority yet gentleness, two soulsa knight, who protects his own heart from the pain of love and an enchantress, who seeks a sanctuary of happiness somewhere or from someoneare led closer to each other. Their captivating story unfolds through over four hundred poems that play around the pages of this uniquely woven anthology. With the themes of temptation and surrender, confusion and exploration, struggle and valor, and love and hate, each poem in this collection could stand on its own; but together, they make a striking tale of romance and adventure. Through melodic words, readers are immersed deep into a story with a fairy-tale theme, but one that is not always as perfect or as happily concluded. Intricately woven with just the right rhyme and rhythm, WindStorms presents pieces that follow the two souls search for something unknown, all the while summoned by nothing but the wind. It is a whimsical play of words that mirrors the realities of finding, falling, and riskingall in the name of love. Readers will be fascinated as they step into a magical fortress with every turn of the page. Kenny Rogers and Kay Heigh Blend

This book provides readers with a broad understanding of the fundamental principles driving atmospheric flow over complex terrain and provides historical context for recent developments and future direction for researchers and forecasters. The topics in this book are expanded from those presented at the Mountain Weather Workshop, which took place in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, August 5-8, 2008. The inspiration for the workshop came from the American Meteorological Society (AMS) Mountain Meteorology Committee and was designed to bridge the gap between the research and forecasting communities by providing a forum for extended discussion and joint education. For academic researchers, this book provides some insight into issues important to the forecasting community. For the forecasting community, this book provides training on fundamentals of atmospheric processes over mountainous regions, which are notoriously difficult to predict. The book also helps to provide a better understanding of current research and forecast challenges, including the latest contributions and advancements to the field. The book begins with an overview of mountain weather and forecasting chal- lenges specific to complex terrain, followed by chapters that focus on diurnal mountain/valley flows that develop under calm conditions and dynamically-driven winds under strong forcing. The focus then shifts to other phenomena specific to mountain regions: Alpine foehn, boundary layer and air quality issues, orographic precipitation processes, and microphysics parameterizations. Having covered the major physical processes, the book shifts to observation and modelling techniques used in mountain regions, including model configuration and parameterizations such as turbulence, and model applications in operational forecasting. The book concludes with a discussion of the current state of research and forecasting in complex terrain, including a vision of how to bridge the gap in the future.
