Assessment of ERA5-Land Reanalysis Precipitation Data in the Qilian Mountains of China

Atmosphere
Precipitation serves as a crucial indicator of climate change and a vital part of the water cycle in mountainous regions. ERA5-Land, a cutting-edge global reanalysis dataset designed for land applications, has been extensively utilized in climate-related

A framework to evaluate and identify development requirements for land‐surface models at km‐scale resolution: Application to a semi‐arid and mountainous region

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This article provides a first evaluation of land‐surface models at the km‐scale resolutions at which they are used in weather and Earth‐system models. At these resolutions, the lateral transfers of water that organize landscapes play an important role in predicting evaporation correctly. Riparian processes and human water management for irrigation need

The role of the synoptic‐scale conditions in driving fog and mist during the FATIMA July 2022 Sable Island Field program

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
ERA5 hourly 325‐m and 1512‐m (a) convergence and (b) vertical motion (actually pressure change with sign reversed to compare with convergence) over Sable Island around the time of an event. The mist (green) and fog (red) occurrences at the surface station are shown at the bottom of the figures. A 325‐m fitted line convergence was positive for the first

Recurving tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific are stronger than non‐recurving ones: Causes and implications

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study investigates the statistical characteristics of recurving tropical cyclones (TCs) over the western North Pacific (WNP). We find that recurving TCs are, on average, 38% stronger than non‐recurving TCs, owing to longer ocean exposure, fewer landfalls, and passage through warmer, more favorable thermal environments.

Impact of Weak‐Constraint Four‐Dimensional Variational data assimilation on the prediction of a sudden stratospheric warming event in 2024

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The Weak‐Constraint Four‐Dimensional Variational (WC‐4DVAR) system markedly improved the analysis and forecasting of the 2024 sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) event. It reduced biases and enhanced 7–9 day predictions of temperature across the SSW life cycle, with the most pronounced gains for winds also during the critical onset period.

Scale dependence of the marine atmospheric boundary‐layer response to ocean surface‐temperature variability in the EUREC4$$ {\mathrm{EUREC}}^4 $$A region

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
With a minimal physics model and a high‐resolution fully 3D simulation, we demonstrate that the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) response to sea‐surface temperature (SST) variability displays a dependence on the horizontal scales of motion.

EnKF and expectation‐maximization based parameter estimation of a convective gravity‐wave parameterization using Strateole 2 constant‐level balloon data

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
An offline methodology is applied to estimate parameters of a convective gravity‐wave scheme using momentum flux (MF) observations from constant‐level balloons (left panels: pdfs of east and west MFs in green from observations and black from EnKF). The approach integrates an ensemble Kalman filter with an expectation‐maximization algorithm and permits ...

Dynamics and thermodynamics of the fast and slow Madden–Julian Oscillation

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The results of this study highlight the MJO as a complex phenomenon, the behavior of which is driven by an interplay of thermodynamic and dynamic processes. The MJO's distinct speeds are controlled by different mechanisms: slow MJOs propagate eastward primarily via horizontal moisture advection, fast MJOs by vertical moisture advection.

Increasing urban flash flood risk attributable to both climate and development

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
A new event impact attribution methodology that combines convection‐permitting climate model data with flood inundation modelling was used for a five‐hour flash‐flooding event in the suburbs of Leeds in 2014. The results show increased urban flood extent due to both climate change (+16%) and increased urbanisation (+29%).
