Three Generations of NARCliM: Evaluation of Precipitation, Temperature and Their Extremes Over the CORDEX Australasia Domain

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The NSW and Australian Regional Climate Modelling Version 2.0 (NARCliM2.0) builds on NARCliM1.0 and 1.5 to deliver improved regional climate simulations. This study provides the first comprehensive evaluation of NARCliM2.0 against its predecessors, assessing individual model skill in reproducing mean and extreme climate.

Characteristics and Trends in Short‐Duration Heavy Rain in Wet‐Season in Hong Kong

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study examines the characteristics of heavy rain events (hourly rainfall ≥ 30 mm) in Hong Kong from 2000 to 2024. A statistically significant increasing trend in short‐duration (1–3 h) heavy rain events (3.4 events per decade) in the wet season is observed, primarily due to other mechanisms rather than surface troughs or tropical cyclones. Notably,

How Well Do CMIP6 Models Simulate the Influence of the West African Westerly Jet on Sahel Precipitation?

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Climate models generally reproduce the WAWJ and August peak but simulate its onset prematurely and too strongly relative to ERA5. CMIP6 simulations struggle to reproduce the jet–precipitation relationship in the Sahel and underrepresent associated moisture transports.

Mechanisms for Diurnal Variability of Global Tropical Rainfall Observed from TRMM

open access: yes, 2006
The behavior and various controls of diurnal variability in tropical-subtropical rainfall are investigated using Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation measurements retrieved from the three level-2 TRMM standard profile algorithms for ...

Are West African Heat‐Lows Analogous to Dry Tropical Cyclones?

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
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.

Multi‐Country‐Multi‐City Characterisation of Heat Stress and Exposure in Africa

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first continent‐wide, grid‐specific assessment of heat stress trends in Africa, revealing a sharp rise in multi‐scale extreme heat episodes and shifting population exposure. Findings highlight urgent implications for urban planning and climate adaptation.

Improved diurnal variability forecast of ocean surface temperature through community model development

open access: yes, 2019
The diurnal variability of SST, driven by the coincident occurrence of moderately low winds and solar heating, is currently not properly understood and resolved in models and products from the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) of ...

A New Hybrid Approach Applying Feature Engineering to Model High Resolution Air Temperature Across Israel

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
A hybrid modelling framework that applies feature engineering using the KNN model to estimate high‐resolution air temperature across Israel by integrating meteorological and environmental predictors. ABSTRACT The increasing global planetary temperature, combined with rapid urbanisation, underscores the urgent need to evaluate human exposure to air ...

Time variability of sea surface parameters in the tropical Atlantic using satellite and in situ data

open access: yes, 2004
The influence of the tropical Atlantic Ocean over the climate of Europe, Africa and America is well known today. However, several questions about high-frequency processes in this region remain open.
