Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Motivated by discrepancies between field observations and the traditional thermal energy balance derived from the first law of thermodynamics, total energy conservation is applied to derive a generalized thermal energy balance for atmospheric applications. Total energy conservation accounts for all forms of energy variation, including kinetic, thermal,

Spatial verification of global precipitation forecasts
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.We present an adaptation of the recently developed precipitation attribution distance (PAD) metric, designed for verifying precipitation, enabling its use on the Earth's spherical geometry. The method is fast and flexible, with its behavior analyzed using a set of idealized cases and 7 years of operational global high‐resolution precipitation forecasts.

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Using micrometeorological measurements in Brazil at the Amazon Tall Tower Observatory, the scalewise impact of thermal stratification on turbulent momentum fluxes is explored in the roughness sublayer and the atmospheric surface layer. A scalewise co‐spectral budget model developed here revealed that the turbulent momentum co‐spectrum Fwu(kx)$$ {F}_{wu}

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This study presents a novel, consistent coupling of two‐moment microphysics (i.e., ice mass mixing ratio and number) with bulk ice optical properties, providing improved accuracy in radiative transfer simulations. The parametrisations, based on the mass‐equivalent spherical radius, avoid uncertainties associated with the effective radius by directly ...

Evaluation of video evidence of possible ball lightning
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.We analyze images of possible ball lightning that appeared less than 10 m from a video camera. The objects' velocity and estimated brightness all agree with typical eyewitness accounts of ball lightning. Though there is an alternative explanation that the objects were sparks from a power‐line arc, we describe analytical techniques that assist in ...

From Smoke to Stock: Effect of PM2.5 on Firm Performance
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Motivated by the severity of air pollution, especially with PM 2.5 particles in Thailand, along with the 2030 United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), we study the effects of PM2.5 (particulate matter) on firm performance in Thailand over the period of 2014–2022 and find a positive association between PM2.5 and firm performance.

Evaluating student involvement in sea‐level data rescue
Weather, EarlyView.Digitising historical tidal data are essential for tracking sea‐level rise and understanding long‐term climate trends. This study develops a framework to train undergraduate students in digitising tidal marigrams from Kilrush (County Clare) and Dún Laoghaire (County Dublin) Harbours. Students tackled challenges like misidentification, formatting errors

Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were formulated in 2015 by the United Nations to improve human health and achieve sustainable existence at a global level. Failure to reach the SDGs will cause not only increased morbidity and mortality worldwide but also a depletion of natural resources, loss of biodiversity, and irreversible climate ...

Using synthetic farm data to estimate individual nitrate leaching levels
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract This article delineates a synthetic population generation scheme in an attempt to estimate individual nitrate leaching rates among Greek farms in the region of Thessaly. The proposed scheme relies upon the construction of a Bayesian network describing farming activities in the region, which, coupled with the use of nonparametric regression ...
