Zusammenfassung:Wind storms impact human lives in their built as well as natural habitats. During the past century, society's vulnerability to wind storms has been reduced by enhanced knowledge of their impact and by controlling exposure through better design. However, only two wind systems have so far been considered in the design of buildings and structures: synoptic winds resulting from macroscale weather systems spanning thousands of kilometers (e.g., extratropical storms) and mesoscale tropical storms spanning hundreds of kilometers and traveling fast (e.g., hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones). During the past two decades, enough evidence has surfaced to support that a third type of very localized wind storms, the non-synoptic winds, are the most damaging in some regions of the world
