On the β$$ \beta $$‐effect in the baroclinic instability of a continuously stratified atmosphere

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We solve the quasi‐geostrophic equation numerically to analyze baroclinic instability in a continuously stratified atmosphere. On the β$$ \beta $$‐plane, deviations from classical models alter instability growth rates and modal structures, leading to the emergence of unstable lobes and a stable region at very large wavelengths.

Impacts of atmospheric river reconnaissance dropsondes on ECMWF Integrated Forecasting System precipitation forecasts

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Impacts of Atmospheric River Reconnaissance dropsonde observations on precipitation forecasts over the U.S. West Coast are examined in the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Integrated Forecasting System (IFS), using observing‐system experiments.

On the meridional asymmetry of the poleward‐displaced intertropical convergence zone

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We analyze the complex, asymmetrical dynamical structure of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) in the East Pacific and Atlantic basins, seen during boreal summer, using a global, coupled storm‐resolving simulation. The equatorial pressure gradients lead to the acceleration of southerlies, which decelerate when the zonal flow becomes westerly ...

Thermodynamic and microphysical properties of summertime marine fog observed from Sable Island

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Atmospheric profiling and near‐surface fog and visibility measurements revealed synoptic‐scale forcing as the dominant factor in fog formation over Sable Island, with deep fog layers under low‐pressure systems and shallow fog layers under high‐pressure systems.
