In the context of the European Project THUNDERR - Detection, simulation, modelling and loading of thunderstorm outflows to design wind-safer and cost-efficient structures - a large database is being built concerning an extensive anemometric network in the High Tyrrhenian area, which is mainly focused on downbursts detection and analysis. The database, which at present consists of about 1.4 TB including indexing and metadata, increases every day of more than 20 million of new measures. This database represents the first step to create a science gateway for sharing also software tools and experiences concerning the identification and analysis of downburst events. To this extent, an initial set of selected thunderstorm events will be released soon to the public through a Web portal, and more events will be added over time. The perspective is to gather contribution throughout the wind engineering and atmospheric science communities in order to enhance research on thunderstorms.

Abstract
In the context of the European Project THUNDERR - Detection, simulation, modelling and loading of thunderstorm outflows to design wind-safer and cost-efficient structures - a large database is being built concerning an extensive anemometric network in the High Tyrrhenian area, which is mainly focused on downbursts detection and analysis. The database, which at present consists of about 1.4 TB including indexing and metadata, increases every day of more than 20 million of new measures. This database represents the first step to create a science gateway for sharing also software tools and experiences concerning the identification and analysis of downburst events. To this extent, an initial set of selected thunderstorm events will be released soon to the public through a Web portal, and more events will be added over time. The perspective is to gather contribution throughout the wind engineering and atmospheric science communities in order to enhance research on thunderstorms.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
