Worldwide, much of the damage due to wind is caused by non-synoptic, local wind storm events, such as tornadoes and downbursts. The need is clear to better understand non-synoptic local winds; properly simulate them; assess the difference in loading between these events and synoptic large-scale winds; determine their statistics and associated risks; and apply this through guidelines, codes, risk mitigation, and adaptation responses to socioeconomic impact.

Worldwide, much of the damage due to wind is caused by non-synoptic, local wind storm events, such as tornadoes and downbursts. The need is clear to better understand non-synoptic local winds; properly simulate them; assess the difference in loading between these events and synoptic large-scale winds; determine their statistics and associated risks; and apply this through guidelines, codes, risk mitigation, and adaptation responses to socioeconomic impact. This Handbook features a cohesive collection of 25 articles, contributed by leading scientists, scholars, and engineers. Together, they provide clear definitions of the problems to be tackled, identify the best-suited tools and methodologies to address them, suggest ways to maximize collaborative planning, and offer a strategic framework for forward-looking research.
Horia Hangan is a Professor in the Faculty of Engineering and the Director of the Wind Engineering, Energy and Environment (WindEEE) Research Institute at the University of Western Ontario, Canada. His research focuses on the simulation and impact of weather systems on man-made or natural habitats. Ahsan Kareem is the Robert M. Moran Professor of Engineering and the Director of the NatHaz Modeling Laboratory at the University of Notre Dame. His work focuses on probabilistic characterization and formulation of dynamic load effects due to wind, waves and earthquakes on structures via fundamental experimental, laboratory and full-scale experiments utilizing cyber and cyber-physical infrastructures to enhance their safety.
