Effects of the Representation of Convection on the Modelling of Hurricane Tomas (2010)
The cumulus parameterization is widely recognised as a crucial factor in tropical meteorology: this paper intends to shed further light on the effects of convection parameterization on tropical cyclones’ numerical predictions in the “grey zone” (10–1 km ...

Abstract We investigate the high‐latitude Joule heating in a recently developed high‐resolution configuration of the WACCM‐X whole‐atmosphere model coupled to the MAGE model. Model resolution and geomagnetic forcing effects during the severe (Kp>8) $(Kp > 8)$ geomagnetic storm on 24 August 2005 are analyzed, distinguishing storm peak and recovery ...

Abstract Numerical experimentation using an atmospheric configuration of the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) Earth System Model is used to examine the vertical structure of the simulated Quasi‐Biennial Oscillation (QBO). Using an improved representation of the parameterized gravity wave spectrum, it is demonstrated that with sufficient vertical ...

On the Cell Broadening of Mesoscale Cellular Convection in a Well‐Mixed Boundary Layer
Abstract Understanding what controls the horizontal scale of mesoscale cellular convection is central to explaining cloud self‐organization and its radiative impacts. Using a hierarchy of large‐eddy simulations, we investigate cell broadening in a well‐mixed boundary layer by isolating the roles of radiation, cloud microphysics, and water vapor.

Soil Moisture Impact on Convective Initiation
Abstract The influence of soil moisture on convective storm initiation remains an open question, with previous studies showing conflicting results regarding whether storms preferentially form over wet or dry soils. Here, we analyze the soil moisture‐convection relationship using satellite observations across North America, Africa, and Australia from ...

Abstract Auroral transport models (ATMs) play an important role in quantitative studies of optical auroras, their driving mechanisms, and their effects on the ionosphere and thermosphere. TREx‐ATM was initially developed as the support model for the Transition Region Explorer (TREx) mission, and has gained increasing applications in the community in ...

ABSTRACT Plant‐based antioxidants are widely incorporated into foods to retard oxidative deterioration and to deliver health‐related benefits. Yet, their in‐product and in vivo performance frequently diverges from predictions based on solution‐phase chemical assays, because matrix interactions, processing history, and host metabolism reshape both ...

Are West African Heat‐Lows Analogous to Dry Tropical Cyclones?
Heat‐lows qualitatively resemble dry tropical cyclones (TCs), though their underlying physics has yet to be compared. In this study, we show that West African transient heat‐low climatology correlates well with TC potential intensity generalised over land.

Imminent Localized Precipitation Preceded by a Surge in Cloud‐Base Descent and Reflectivity
Abstract The nowcasting of localized precipitation (LP) is often limited by insufficient observation of the vertical cloud evolution preceding rainfall. Here we systematically tracked rapid cloud development within 2 hr before LP onset, utilizing cloud data collected in 2024 from the millimeter‐wavelength cloud radar network across China, together with

Abstract Parameterizing boundary layer turbulence in Earth System Models (ESMs) introduces a key source of uncertainty. Here, we explore the impact of implementing a prognostic formulation (PMF) for momentum flux, which permits countergradient (CG) fluxes.
