Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2015 According to the general theory of relativity, two clocks placed at two different positions with different geopotentials run at different rates. Thus one can determine the geopotential difference between these two points by comparing the running rates of

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.The change in the frequency of wet spells in tropical Australia in summer primarily contributes to the change in precipitation between wet and dry years. In the extratropics, both the frequency and intensity of wet spells are important, especially in winter.

Heat stress in tropical highland regions: the case of Kenya during February 2024
Weather, EarlyView.Understanding and awareness about heat stress remain low in sub‐Saharan countries despite high exposure and vulnerability. After the national media in Kenya reported that people had complained about unusual heat stress during February 2024, we combine in situ and reanalysis data to (i) put this event into climatological perspective, and (ii) give ...

Probability forecasts – Part 1: ensembles and probabilistic forecasts
Weather, EarlyView.Ensemble weather forecasts have been in use for many years to help forecasters understand uncertainty in weather predictions but are now becoming core to some operational Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) systems. Ensembles offer greater predictive skill and information content than deterministic forecasts but are more complex to interpret and ...

Extreme rainfall in Madeira: the June 2023 weather event
Weather, EarlyView.This study investigates the meteorological conditions behind the extreme precipitation event on 6 June 2023 over Madeira Island, Portugal. The event set a national daily record of 497.5mm and was unusual for occurring in early summer, as most extremes in the region occur in winter.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract Compound heatwave and drought events (CHDEs) in South China (SC) have intensified in early autumn, yet their driving factor remains unclear. Based on reanalysis data and numerical experiments, this study investigates the potential influence of the summer northeastern Arctic Sea ice concentration (NEASIC) on the interannual variation of ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract North China frequently experiences devastating extreme precipitation events (EPEs). Upstream spatiotemporal propagation characteristics of EPEs can provide useful precursors for forecasting North China EPEs but remains poorly understood. Using climate network analysis, two dominant EPEs propagation pathways, that is, a northwestern pathway ...

Climate change and circulation types in the Alpine region
Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2017 The frequency of circulation types over the Alpine region is explored using 20 different global and regional climate model chains. The projected changes in these circulation types are investigated for the 21st century using the SRES A1B scenario.

On the comparison between two sets of 500 mb geopotential height eigenfunctions [PDF]
Tellus A: Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 1986 When the largest eigenvalues of an Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis are of similar magnitude, the corresponding EOFs do not hold great interest when they are considered one at a time; only the vector subspace generated by the first EOFs is significant.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract Convective self‐aggregation describes the spontaneous organization of convection that occurs in radiative‐convective equilibrium (RCE) simulations. Here, we conduct RCE simulations coupled to 2‐ and 20‐m slab ocean models in a 3D channel domain to assess the influence of interactive sea surface temperatures (SST) on self‐aggregation.
