Characterization of synoptic environment for mesoscale convective systems over South Korea using ERA5 reanalysis data

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
In this study, the synoptic conditions for modes of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) in South Korea are generalized based on composite analysis. The preferred precipitation region, synoptic patterns, moisture transport, sea surface temperature and thermodynamic and dynamic instabilities are characterized according to four modes: convective cells (CC)

Rare Lightning and Convection Characteristics During Two Successive Tornadoes in Southern China

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Systematic investigations into lightning characteristics of tornado storms in China remain scarce. This study comprehensively analyses rare lightning behaviour and overshooting top characteristics for two successive tornadoes during a long‐lived supercell in southern China on 27 April 2024.

Simulating Shallow Mesoscale Overturning Circulations in the Trades With Kilometer‐Scale Earth System Models

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Shallow mesoscale overturning circulations (SMOCs) are ubiquitous in the trades, primarily triggered by mesoscale convective heating and influencing the organization of shallow cumuli. Accurate representation of SMOCs and their co‐variability with moisture is crucial for capturing mesoscale cloud organization in models and improving climate ...

Attributing Upper‐Tropospheric Warm Biases in CMIP6 Models to Ice Cloud‐Radiation Interaction Deficiencies Over Tropical Oceans

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract We assess the impact of hydrometeor radiative effects on tropical and subtropical Pacific air temperature anomalies (TAA) using Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) model simulations and satellite data. CMIP6 models are grouped by their treatment of frozen hydrometeors: SON2 (explicit cloud and falling ice), SON1 (simplified),

Changes in the Westward Transport of Saharan Dust From West Africa With Anthropogenic Forcing in the WRF Model

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Large uncertainties exist for future westward Saharan dust transport with increasing Greenhouse Gas emissions. We evaluate future changes in westward dust transport at the longitude of 18.6°W and a latitude range of 4°N–30°N using the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) with the GOCART dust module for the present‐day, with ERA‐Interim

Global Diurnal Precipitation Cycle in the AI Model GraphCast and a 5‐km Unified Model: Challenges and Opportunities

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract This study evaluates the ability of the AI weather forecast model GraphCast to reproduce the global diurnal cycle of boreal summer precipitation, comparing it with Integrated Multi‐satellite Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) satellite observations, the ERA5 reanalysis, and an experimental global 5‐km Met Office Unified Model (UM) which is convection ...

Ocean Meanders Modulate Extratropical Cyclone Energetics

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Extratropical cyclones primarily develop over the western parts of ocean basins, where strong sea surface temperature (SST) contrasts form along western boundary currents. While previous studies have highlighted the influence of the mean SST and SST gradient on cyclones developing over these currents, they have generally disregarded their ...
