The Role of Lightning in Atmospheric Chemistry
Abstract Lightning has important effects on atmospheric constituents in primarily the middle and upper troposphere. We summarize the effects of lightning on atmospheric chemistry that have been published since the last major review in 2007. The estimates of NOx production by lightning (LNOx) are based on five methods: theoretical/laboratory estimates ...

Abstract The impact of aviation induced contrail cirrus on Earth's radiation budget depends on the optical depth (OD) and the life time of these clouds. Their tendency to enhance global warming may be mitigated by replacing conventional kerosene with fuels that form fewer soot particles, such as sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). The resulting reduction

Bias Correction Can Strongly Shape California's Projected Megaflood Risk
Abstract A California “megaflood”—a weeks‐long cluster of storms with centuries‐long return times—would be catastrophic, yet its timing and magnitude under climate change remains uncertain. A central source of uncertainty is whether Earth System Model boundary conditions should be bias corrected before dynamical downscaling.

The Evolution of Tropical Cyclone Intensity and Size in Observations and HighResMIP Models
Abstract The destructive potential of a tropical cyclone (TC) depends on both its intensity and size, yet the coupled evolution of these properties remains insufficiently explored. This study investigates TC intensity–size relationships of TCs in observations and historical simulations from 12 HighResMIP models in the North Atlantic (NA) and western ...
