Physically consistent mesoscale model evaluation in complex terrain

open access: yesQuarterly 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

open access: yesQuarterly 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).

Meteorological conditions leading to a catastrophic, rain‐induced landslide in Cameroon in October 2019

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
October 2019 was characterized by three main multiday wet spells in Bafoussam and Dschang. Our results indicated that wet spells were influenced by a vortex pair near the Gulf of Guinea, a strong Sahara Heat Low located anomalously far east and north, a northward shift of the intertropical discontinuity, an enhancement of the inland penetration of the ...

UCanWBGT: urban street canyon heat stress calculation for weather and climate models

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This work introduces UCanWBGT, a new model to calculate wet‐bulb globe temperature in an urban environment, suitable for use with weather and climate model data. We present the model, then verify its performance against observations made in the streets of Paris during heatwave conditions.

The role of soil moisture in the inland penetration of Indian monsoon low‐pressure systems

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We use the Advanced Weather Research and Forecasting model to examine the role of soil moisture in the inland penetration of Indian monsoon low‐pressure systems (LPSs). We find that LPSs penetrate deeply into India despite a dry land surface; however, their inland penetration is adversely affected when there is a reduction in the total surface heat ...

Long‐Term Effects of Low‐Drop Grade Control Structures on Channel Evolution in the Yazoo River Basin

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Channel incision is a widespread problem, especially in river basins that have an extensive history of channel alterations. Because channel incision causes large ecological and economic consequences, the prevention of continued migration of headcuts, defined as a steep change in stream gradient over a short reach, has been the focus of many ...
