Unifying Observations, Simulations, and Theory for Drizzle Size Distribution Tails
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.Abstract The onset and rate of drizzle remain open problems in atmospheric physics. This study brings together theory, simulations, and observations to analyze the emergence of power‐law tails in droplet size distributions as a signature of a dynamic steady state with coalescence growth balanced by sedimentation removal.

The Role of Lightning in Atmospheric Chemistry
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.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 ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.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

Greenland's Topography Triggers Cyclogenesis: Synergy Between Lee Cyclogenesis and Jet Streak
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.Abstract Arctic cyclones play a crucial role in shaping Arctic weather patterns and influencing sea ice concentrations. During the Multidisciplinary Drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate expedition in April 2020, an Arctic cyclone was observed at the leeside of Greenland, prompting our hypothesis that lee cyclogenesis contributed ...

High‐Resolution Regional Atmospheric Simulation of Precipitation and Isotopes in Central America
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.Abstract With advances in global and regional circulation models, the high‐resolution simulation of atmospheric variables has become increasingly feasible. In this study, we use IsoRSM, an isotope‐enabled regional spectral model, to improve the simulation of precipitation and its isotopic composition over tropical Costa Rica, which is marked by a ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.Abstract Anthropogenic warming is expected to substantially modify the hydroclimate of South America, a region in which low‐level jets (LLJs) and mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are key components of moisture transport and precipitation. However, the responses of these systems to future climate change, including the relative roles of thermodynamic ...
