Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

A novel reindeer cyclone optimization algorithm (RCOA)
Scientific ReportsThis paper introduces the Reindeer Cyclone Optimization Algorithm (RCOA), a novel metaheuristic optimization technique inspired by the survival behavior of reindeer during predator attacks in formation cyclonic storms.

Analytic studies of local-severe-storm observables by satellites [PDF]
Attention is concentrated on the exceptionally violet whirlwind, often characterized by a fairly vertical axis of rotation. For a cylindrical polar coordinate system with axis coincident with the axis of rotation, the secondary flow involves the radial ...

Weather, EarlyView.A devastating flood occurred in May 2023 in the Emilia‐Romagna region in northern Italy after 2 days with widespread accumulated precipitation exceeding 150mm. The event was associated with a quasi‐stationary upper‐level cutoff cyclone. This study investigates the performance of the operational ECMWF ensemble prediction system in capturing the cutoff ...

A retrospective on the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season
Weather, EarlyView.The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season was intermittent, with extended quiet periods separated by three clusters of activity. The broad‐scale conditions were often unfavourable for cyclogenesis and common drivers of activity such as La Niña were weak, but well above‐average sea temperatures still supported intense storms.

Weather, EarlyView.Cyclone Ditwah (2025) made landfall in Sri Lanka as a tropical cyclone with only moderate intensity winds (~65–75kmh−1). Yet, its prolonged heavy rainfall also led to landslides and widespread flooding across Sri Lanka and the southern Indian states, with the combined effects of hazards causing impacts totalling 4.1 billion USD. Ditwah is, therefore, a

Fatal lightning strikes in Ireland from newspaper records 1900–2024
Weather, EarlyView.This study presents a chronology of fatal lightning strikes in Ireland (1900–2024) derived from digitised newspaper archives. Analysis provides insights into the seasonality, location, victim activity and synoptic conditions (from Lamb weather types) of 94 fatal events causing 113 deaths.
