New insights into convection‐permitting model simulations from a ZDR$$ {\boldsymbol{Z}}_{\mathbf{DR}} $$ diagnostic for raindrops

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
A polarimetric radar forward operator to simulate differential reflectivity (ZDR$$ {Z}_{\mathrm{DR}} $$) from rain was developed to evaluate simulated storms in the Met Office Unified Model (MetUM) for two case days of the Wessex Convection Experiment (WesCon) field campaign. Vertical columns of ZDR$$ {Z}_{\mathrm{DR}} $$, indicative of strong updrafts,

Impact of Weak‐Constraint Four‐Dimensional Variational data assimilation on the prediction of a sudden stratospheric warming event in 2024

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The Weak‐Constraint Four‐Dimensional Variational (WC‐4DVAR) system markedly improved the analysis and forecasting of the 2024 sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) event. It reduced biases and enhanced 7–9 day predictions of temperature across the SSW life cycle, with the most pronounced gains for winds also during the critical onset period.

The physical and synoptic‐dynamical differences between warm days, hot days, and heatwaves during summer in Victoria, Australia

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
During the day, there is composite mean cold advection in the boundary layer on warm days (WDs), hot days (HDs) and heatwaves (HWs). There is weaker surface‐sensible heating on HDs and HWs. A nocturnal jet advects warm air on HDs and HWs. There is a strong and slow‐moving upper‐level anticyclone on HWs.

Characteristics of upper‐level updrafts and downdrafts in the anvils of tropical deep convective clouds

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study investigates the thermodynamic and microphysical characteristics of updrafts and downdrafts of tropical deep convective anvil clouds using in situ measurements. We found that parts of the downdrafts are in ice supersaturation in these clouds.

Evaluation and assimilation of Arctic Weather Satellite data in the AROME‐Arctic forecast system

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The Arctic Weather Satellite (AWS), launched in August 2024, is a prototype for the future EPS–Sterna constellation of small satellites carrying an innovative microwave sounder. We present the first assessment of AWS in the regional AROME‐Arctic numerical weather prediction system, covering post‐launch calibration results and the impact of AWS ...
