Short summary

Thunderstorm downbursts are intense wind events that can cause severe damage to the environment and infrastructure. To better understand these phenomena, we conducted experiments in a specialized climatic wind tunnel. By simulating thermal and wind dynamics, we studied how these winds form, develop, and interact with the landscape. Our findings provide new insights into downburst behavior and offer valuable data for improving models to predict their impacts in a changing climate.
