Short summary
With increasing wind energy in the German energy grid, it is crucial to better understand how different types of weather (including thunderstorms) can impact wind turbines and the surrounding atmosphere. We find rapid wind changes associated with the leading edge of thunderstorm outflows within the height range of wind turbines that would quickly increase wind power output, with longer-lasting changes in the near-surface atmosphere that would affect subsequent wind turbine operations.
