Analysis of the complex role of trees in street canyons using a large‐eddy simulation model
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Our large‐eddy simulations with high spatial resolution (down to 1 m) show a significant improvement in thermal comfort in shaded areas beneath trees during the hottest part of the day and just after sunset. However, they also highlight a drawback: in narrower streets, PM10$$ {\mathrm{PM}}_{10} $$ concentrations more than doubled compared with areas ...

A Database Engineered System for Big Data Analytics on Tornado Climatology [PDF]
arXivRecognizing the challenges with current tornado warning systems, we investigate alternative approaches. In particular, we present a database engi-neered system that integrates information from heterogeneous rich data sources, including climatology data for tornadoes and data just before a tornado warning.

Air–sea–ice interactions in Isfjorden, Svalbard: An atmospheric perspective
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Due to its location and complex topography, atmospheric conditions in the Isfjorden region in central Svalbard are highly variable in space and time. Using new high‐resolution atmospheric reanalysis data, we show that near‐surface wind channeling and cold air advection strongly impact the winter heat extraction from the fjord, comparable to the effect ...

Surface temperature modulations induced by Rossby Wave Breaking over Indian region
Environmental Research CommunicationsUpper-level Rossby Wave Breaking (RWB) significantly affects surface weather patterns in the subtropical Indian region through influencing wind circulation often resulting in extremes in rainfall and surface temperatures.

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.The evolution of wind gusts is difficult to observe because gusts are short‐lived phenomena that can originate at higher altitudes. During the Field Experiment on Sub‐mesoscale Spatio‐Temporal Variability in Lindenberg (FESSTVaL), novel ground‐based remote‐sensing methodologies were applied to measure wind with Doppler lidars in order to provide the ...

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.The atmospheric mechanisms responsible for the low‐level cloud cover (LCC) over western equatorial Africa in the dry season are poorly studied. This study brings a better understanding of the mechanisms accounting for the diurnal LCC formation and dissipation, and it highlights some potential interactions between local and regional dynamics by using a ...
