The Ideology of History and the Limits of Cinematic Realism in Andrei Zviagintsev’s Leviathan and Nataliia Meshchaninova’s The Hope Factory

open access: yesThe Russian Review, Volume 85, Issue 3, Page 348-362, July 2026.
Abstract This article brings together theories of history and filmic realism to analyze the representation of the provinces in Nataliia Meshchaninova’s The Hope Factory (Kombinat “Nadezhda,” 2014) and Andrei Zviagintsev’s Leviathan (Leviafan, 2014). It argues that these two films share a typically realist attitude of respect toward the profilmic in ...

Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Spatial Asymmetries in the Lesser Antilles

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.
Rainfall is not proportional to the Saffir‐Simpson wind‐based categories. Lower category tropical cyclones (TS, H1, H2 and H3) can generate more intense rainfall than H4 and H5. Rainfall is asymmetric; as a tropical cyclone intensifies or weakens, the location of peak rainfall shifts.

Exploring the Influence of Equatorial Waves on a Record‐Breaking Extreme Precipitation Event in Central Sahel: Insights From Convection Permitting Simulations

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The floods of 01 September 2009 in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, were among the most severe in the Central Sahel's history, highlighting the region's persistent flood risk. This extreme precipitation event (EPE) was influenced by various atmospheric drivers, including Convectively Coupled Equatorial Waves (CCEWs).

Contribution of Tropical Cyclones to Hourly Precipitation Extremes in the Contiguous United States

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Tropical cyclones (TCs) are major drivers of contiguous United States (CONUS) flooding, yet their contribution to hourly precipitation extremes remains poorly quantified. Here we link observations from 420 gauges (1980–2024) with TC track data to attribute extreme hourly precipitation to both local and remote TCs.

Precipitation Microphysics Over the Headwaters of the Tarim River Basin: A Striking North‐South Contrast Revealed by a Decade of GPM/DPR Observations

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The headwater regions of the Tarim River Basin (TRB), Asia's vital “water towers,” are critical for the ecological stability of arid Northwest China, yet a systematic understanding of their diverse precipitation microphysics remains elusive.

Changing Flood‐Generating Mechanisms Impact Flood Characteristics in Snow‐Dominated Catchments

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Global warming is shifting the characteristics of snowmelt floods, while simultaneously altering flood‐generating mechanisms in cold regions. Here, we disentangle the contributions of inter‐type mechanism transitions from intra‐type characteristic shifts to overall changes in flood behavior across Northern Hemisphere snow‐dominated catchments.
