Revisiting Intrinsic Predictability of Wave‐Convection Coupled Bands Over Southern China: Variable and Scale‐Dependent Error Growth Characteristics

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the variable‐ and scale‐dependent intrinsic predictability of wave‐convection coupled bands over southern China on 30 January 2018, using 1‐km simulations under varying initial moisture conditions. The predictability time is quantified via the Loss Predictability Index (LPI), defined as the ratio of the forecast error ...

Precipitation‐Driven Thickening and Wind‐Induced Erosion of the Ocean Barrier Layer Under Tropical Cyclones

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Barrier layer (BL) thickness (BLT) modulates tropical cyclone (TC) intensity, yet its evolution mechanisms remain debated. While statistical studies attribute BL thickening to heavy precipitation in strong or slow‐moving TCs, numerical experiments suggest that enhanced wind‐driven mixing tends to erode it.

Urban Land Surface Effects on Summertime Clouds and Moist Convection in Houston Under Different Synoptic Conditions

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Urban landscapes modify cloud formation and convection through complex thermodynamic and aerodynamic processes; however, their influence under different synoptic regimes remains poorly understood. This study investigates the impact of the Houston metropolitan area on summertime cloud cover and convective cell characteristics using a ...

Future Climate Projections of Hazardous Convective Weather Using an Ensemble of Environment‐Informed, Convection‐Permitting Dynamical Downscaling Simulations

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Convection‐permitting dynamical downscaling (CPDD) allows for an explicit representation of the convective storms that generate tornadoes, hail, severe thunderstorm winds, and locally heavy precipitation. Possible changes in such hazardous convective weather (HCW) due to human‐induced climate change are therefore projected with higher ...

Five feet high and rising : cities and flooding in the 21st century [PDF]

open access: yes
Urban flooding is an increasingly important issue. Disaster statistics appear to show flood events are becoming more frequent, with medium-scale events increasing fastest.

Understanding Aitken Mode Aerosol Variability Over the Southern Ocean and Antarctica: Insights From Cloud Condensation Nuclei Data

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Aitken mode aerosol particles can influence cloud properties and lifetime by acting as a reservoir of potential cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) that can replenish the CCN population against precipitation scavenging. However, data on Aitken‐mode aerosols in remote regions are limited. In this study, we developed a method to estimate Aitken mode
