Enhancing severe convection forecasts with microwave radiance assimilation in limited‐area models

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Microwave satellite radiances remain largely underexploited in convection‐permitting limited‐area models. We assess the assimilation of humidity‐sensitive radiances from the MHS instrument in the operational ICON‐2I model, improving the precipitation forecast of a severe convective event over the Marche region, Italy, substantially by correcting ...

Multiscale controls on diurnal convection in the Maritime Continent: Insights from high‐resolution observations in Timika

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Across the Maritime Continent, diurnal rainfall variability is governed by interactions between regional‐scale atmospheric drivers and local land–sea breeze circulations. Afternoon convection is initiated over land by surface heating and propagates offshore, whereas morning rainfall develops over adjacent seas and moves inland under low‐level northerly

Object‐based deep learning for probabilistic convective‐core nowcasting from satellite data

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Convective cores detected from Meteosat infrared imagery are represented as compact physical objects to generate probabilistic nowcasts up to 6 h ahead. A spatio‐temporal transformer models interactions among evolving core populations and produces gridded probability forecasts across the western Sahel.

Synoptic and large‐scale drivers of extreme precipitation events in the Himalayas

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Months associated with maximum frequency of extreme precipitation events (EPEs). 6102 extreme precipitation days (i.e., exceeding 99th percentile for daily precipitation) occurred across the Karakoram, Western Himalayas (WH), Central Himalayas (CH) and Eastern Himalayas (EH) during 1979 to 2023.

A synoptic overview of the EUREC4A field campaign

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The figure shows a summary of the important synoptic features and associated cloud patterns during the EUREC4A field campaign, divided into four subjectively defined periods. In period 1 the fish cloud pattern was dominant, associated with a shear line, and there was an initial transport of dust from West Africa that reached Barbados in the third ...

Altitudinal Gradient May Shadow the Effects of Altitudinal Range on Species Diversity

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014
Altitudinal range is widely used as a proxy of habitat heterogeneity to explain broad-scale geographical patterns of species diversity. Though altitudinal range is a factors derived from altitudinal gradient, altitudinal range’s effects on species diversity on altitudinal gradient remain little known.

Altitudinal Gradients of Soil Temperatures in Europe

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 1980
The altitudinal gradient of soil temperature is examined with the aid of observations from ten countries in Europe. It is shown that this altitudinal gradient is always greatest in summer and least in winter, and that only the amplitude of the seasonal variation differs from one region to another.

Leaf wettability decreases along an extreme altitudinal gradient

Oecologia, 2009
The duration and amount of water captured on leaves and its functional significance is highly varied. Leaf surface wettability influences water absorption, gas exchange, pathogen infection, nutrient leaching, contamination by pollutants, self-cleaning properties and in freezing environments the probability of extrinsic ice nucleation.
