Detecting and attributing climate change effects on vegetation: Australia as a test case
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change is contributing to vegetation changes that threaten life support systems. Yet, inherent climatic variability and past and present human actions—such as clearing, burning and grazing regimes—also alter vegetation and complicate understanding of vegetation change. Australian ecosystems exemplify such complexity.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Tebuconazole‐resistant isolates overexpress CYP51 and, when tested at field rates, did not reduce ABS severity, whereas difenoconazole and mefentrifluconazole remained effective. Abstract BACKGROUND Alternaria brown spot (ABS), caused by Alternaria spp., is an important disease affecting mandarin production in several citrus‐growing regions worldwide ...

On the meridional asymmetry of the poleward‐displaced intertropical convergence zone
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.We analyze the complex, asymmetrical dynamical structure of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) in the East Pacific and Atlantic basins, seen during boreal summer, using a global, coupled storm‐resolving simulation. The equatorial pressure gradients lead to the acceleration of southerlies, which decelerate when the zonal flow becomes westerly ...

Classification of Fog Life‐Cycle Phases Using Ground‐Based and Satellite‐Based Observations
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.In this study, the life‐cycle phases of radiation fog events—formation, maturity, and dissipation—are automatically classified at a ground station in Southwest Germany based on visibility trends and thresholds. We demonstrate that visibility detects radiation fog phases effectively, while its combination with ceilometer data can detect the life‐cycle ...

Physically consistent mesoscale model evaluation in complex terrain
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This study introduces a novel approach for evaluating mesoscale atmospheric models in complex terrain by selecting physically consistent grid points and applying height‐based corrections. The method corrects for sensor height and terrain elevation differences between model and observations using a time‐varying lapse rate.

Direct measurement of bidirectional turbulent fluxes of atmospheric cluster ions
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.First direct eddy covariance measurements of vertical turbulent fluxes of atmospheric cluster ions are presented. The net turbulent flux was mostly positive for negative cluster ions (net emission of negative ions) and mostly negative for positive cluster ions (net deposition of positive ions).

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Based on turbulence diagnostics, airlines are willing to avoid up to 15% of the airspace in order to avoid a fraction of turbulence that takes up about 0.1% of the airspace. This study quantifies these three fractions using turbulence reports from commercial aircraft and ERA5 reanalysis diagnostics, revealing that the low and regionally variable ...
