Alaskan Ridge Blocking and Associated Winter Cold Conditions Over North America
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Multi‐decadal (1979–2023) analysis reveals that wintertime reductions in the meridional gradient of potential vorticity (PVy) over the Bering Sea are recurrent but episodic features of North Pacific circulation. These suppressed PVy states consistently co‐occur with amplified Alaskan ridging, weakened mid‐tropospheric westerlies and a downstream warm ...

Are West African Heat‐Lows Analogous to Dry Tropical Cyclones?
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Heat‐lows qualitatively resemble dry tropical cyclones (TCs), though their underlying physics has yet to be compared. In this study, we show that West African transient heat‐low climatology correlates well with TC potential intensity generalised over land.

Climatology of Urban-regional Systems [PDF]
Urbanized areas have come to be significant if not dominant components of many regional land surfaces. They represent perhaps the most dramatic recent change man has made in his environment - a change that may well burgeon in the foreseeable future as ...

Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Spatial Asymmetries in the Lesser Antilles
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Rainfall is not proportional to the Saffir‐Simpson wind‐based categories. Lower category tropical cyclones (TS, H1, H2 and H3) can generate more intense rainfall than H4 and H5. Rainfall is asymmetric; as a tropical cyclone intensifies or weakens, the location of peak rainfall shifts.

Large-scale sea surface temperature variability from satellite and shipboard measurements [PDF]
A series of satellite sea surface temperature intercomparison workshops were conducted under NASA sponsorship at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Three different satellite data sets were compared with each other, with routinely collected ship data, and ...

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Over the past 60 years, noticeable changes have been observed in the main hydroclimatological variables, driven by both natural and anthropogenic factors. In the context of climate change, such behaviour may adversely affect the state's economic activities, as well as increase the recurrence of extreme events in the region.

Emergent Trends Complicate the Interpretation of the United States Drought Monitor (USDM)
AGU AdvancesEffective drought management must be informed by an understanding of whether and how current drought monitoring and assessment practices represent underlying nonstationary climate conditions, either naturally occurring or forced by climate change.

Weather Patterns Associated With Coastal Disasters in Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.The study identified weather patterns (WPs) associated with coastal disasters between 1998 and 2020 along the Santa Catarina coast, Brazil. Using atmospheric and oceanographic data combined with official disaster records, five WPs were defined, mainly associated with cyclonic and anticyclonic systems linked to extreme wave events.
