Abstract:Extreme stratospheric polar vortex (SPV) events can influence winter tropospheric circulation for up to 60 days. Their impacts on air temperature have been extensively studied recently. However, there is a research gap in their effects on wind speeds and its extremes. This study aims to evaluate, for the first time, the impacts of such extreme SPV events on observed and modelled near-surface wind gusts across Europe. We have analysed wind gust data coming from: station-based observations (for the Iberian Penin… Show more
