Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.Abstract To improve numerical prediction of mountain‐to‐plain (MTP) convection over the Beijing region, this study uses the MPAS–JEDI four‐dimensional ensemble‐variational (4DEnVar) data assimilation system on a global 3–60 km variable‐resolution mesh to evaluate assimilation strategies for radiances from the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit‐A (AMSU‐A)

Terrestrial Gamma‐Ray Flash Following Intense Negative Return Stroke Observed With BIMAP‐3D
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.Abstract We report ground‐based observations of a terrestrial gamma‐ray flash (TGF) associated with a strong negative cloud‐to‐ground lightning strike (‐CG) which occurred near Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico, USA. Gamma photons were detected by the Terrestrial High‐energy Observations of Radiation (THOR) instrument, developed at ...

Stroke multiplicity and horizontal scale of negative charge regions in thunderclouds
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 An X‐band polarimetric radar and multiple lightning detection systems are used to document the initial cloud‐to‐ground lightning flash in a large number (46 cases) of incipient thunderstorms, as part of the CHUVA‐Vale field campaign during the 2011/2012 ...
