Understanding the Climatology and Characteristics of Arctic Moisture Intrusions
Abstract Moisture and heat transport into the Arctic play important roles in modulating the local climate and Arctic sea ice variability. Moisture intrusions, the transport of extreme moisture channels into the Arctic, can perturb the surface energy balance and sea ice mass balance through radiative changes, triggering melt and inhibiting sea ice ...

Abstract This study investigates the vertical cloud microphysics in the stratiform sectors of Hurricane Tammy's outer rainband region and their relationship to local environments. We used in situ Optical Array Probe (OAP) measurements and tail‐Doppler radar data from four NOAA P‐3 spiral modules on 19–22 October 2023, as Tammy intensified from a ...

Potential Bias in Inferred Megathrust Slip Rates Induced by the Neglect of Material Heterogeneity
Abstract Accurate knowledge of the pattern of interseismic coupling on megathrusts is critical to preparing for future earthquakes and tsunamis. However, published models for a given fault zone commonly differ widely, making hazard assessment difficult.

Abstract Whether surface and deeper water storage trends move in the same direction underpins assessments of freshwater availability. Theory predicts vertical coherence, yet it is untested globally and questioned under climate extremes and human management. Using depth‐sensitive satellite observations spanning surface soil moisture (SSM) (Soil Moisture

Abstract Low‐level clouds over the Southern Ocean (SO) exert a strong influence on surface radiation, yet their representation in reanalyses and climate models remains uncertain. We evaluated cloud properties and surface radiative fluxes from ERA5, MERRA‐2, and the CAM‐ATRAS model using observations obtained over the SO by Japan's R/V Shirase during ...

Abstract Standard detection and attribution of volcanic forcing targets spatial temperature anomalies. We show that the covariance structure of climate variability carries an independent volcanic fingerprint. Applying tangent‐space regression on the symmetric positive definite manifold SPD(8) to 40 years of eight teleconnection indices, we detect ...

Equivalent Subsurface Thermal Characteristics for Heterogeneous Surfaces
Abstract Land‐surface and atmospheric models often represent subgrid‐scale variability using a single set of effective properties. Estimating these equivalent properties is critical for predicting land‐atmosphere exchanges accurately, but challenging when materials with distinct radiative and thermal characteristics coexist, particularly in urban ...

Manufacturability‐aware multi‐objective screening of Type IV filament‐wound composite pressure‐vessel cylindrical sections toward lightweight and high‐strength designs. ABSTRACT A manufacturability‐aware preliminary screening framework is proposed for the straight cylindrical section of filament‐wound Type IV composite pressure vessels.

Invariant Measure and Universality of the 2D Yang–Mills Langevin Dynamic
ABSTRACT We prove that the Yang–Mills (YM) measure for the trivial principal bundle over the two‐dimensional torus, with any connected, compact structure group, is invariant for the associated renormalised Langevin dynamic. Our argument relies on a combination of regularity structures, lattice gauge‐fixing and Bourgain's method for invariant measures ...

A primer on forest structure measurement with lidar for ecologists
Abstract Light detection and ranging (lidar) technology has fundamentally advanced the way we measure forest structure, facilitating new insights into ecological processes. Lidar for forest ecology applications is deployed on multiple types of platforms that operate from the ground, air, or space, and each has associated strengths and limitations ...
