Nowcasting convective cores using deep learning

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Key findings: •$$ \bullet $$ Network for Nowcasting Convective Cores (NetNCC) has considerable potential for convective storm nowcasting and the development of early warning systems for extreme rainfall. •$$ \bullet $$ Skilful nowcasts of convective cores are obtained at fine spatial resolutions (<30km$$ <30\kern0.15em \mathrm{km} $$) for up to 2 hr ...

Drivers of flash floods in the Indian sub-continental river basins

npj Natural Hazards
Flash floods occur every year during the summer monsoon season in India, causing substantial damage to agriculture, infrastructure, and human life. Despite their profound implications, flash flood hotspots remain unknown, hindering adaptation efforts ...

Lightning electromagnetic emission location using arrival time differencing (LEELA): An introduction to the Met Office's next generation Very Low Frequency lightning location system

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This paper describes the Met Office's new lightning location system LEELA. A brief overview of the upgraded hardware and geolocation algorithms is given. LEELA has improved lightning detection capabilities, especially at night. When comparing LEELA to the previous ATDnet system against ground truths LEELA has 100% storm detection efficiency within 5 km

Uncovering the Spatiotemporal Evolution and Driving Factors of Flash Flood in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Remote Sensing
Frequent flash floods threaten human well-being, hydropower infrastructure, and ecosystems. However, the long-term evolution of flash flood patterns over recent decades remains insufficiently understood, particularly in data-scarce high-altitude regions.

Enhancing severe convection forecasts with microwave radiance assimilation in limited‐area models

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Microwave satellite radiances remain largely underexploited in convection‐permitting limited‐area models. We assess the assimilation of humidity‐sensitive radiances from the MHS instrument in the operational ICON‐2I model, improving the precipitation forecast of a severe convective event over the Marche region, Italy, substantially by correcting ...

Fundamental Hydraulic Geometry Relations as an Accessible Tool for Identifying Channel Instability Over National Scales

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The geometry of alluvial river channels can give insight into their stability, which can inform predictions of morphological change, flood risk and ecological degradation. Fundamental hydraulic geometry relations can be used to estimate the equilibrium dimensions of stable river channels by evaluating the balance between the erodibility of bed
