Enhanced Adiabatic Heating Drives Faster Warming of Early Summer Hot Extremes in North China

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract North China has recently seen frequent hot days above 35°C or even 40°C before or at the very beginning of June. This raises a concern about the changing seasonality of exceptional hot extremes in the region which might leave population there underprepared.

Simulation of the Gravsat/Geopause mission [PDF]

A simulation of the proposed low Gravsat and high Geopause satellite mission is presented. This mission promises fundamental improvements in the accuracy of low order geopotential coefficients by using satellite-to-satellite tracking technology coupled ...

Trend of North African Dust Storms and Potential Link to Climate Change

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Over recent decades, North African dust storms have undergone marked variability, reflecting complex interactions between regional climate processes and environmental change. Using four decades (1984–2023) of visibility‐based observational records, we examine regional and seasonal trends in dust storm frequency across the Sahel and the Sahara,

Evaluation of upper tropospheric geopotential height anomalies over the tropical and subtropical oceans in CMIP6 models using GNSS radio occultation observations

Environmental Research Communications
We investigate the influence of hydrometeor radiative effects on the winter (DJF) geopotential height anomaly (ZA) over the subtropical and tropical Pacific Oceans in both the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) and phase 6 (CMIP6 ...

A Numerical Case Study of the Papagayo Jet Effect on East Pacific Easterly Wave Development

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the development of an east Pacific easterly wave (EW) event in August 2019 and the effect of the Papagayo jet on its evolution. Convective‐permitting numerical simulations were conducted. These included a control experiment and a Gap‐Filled experiment with a closed mountain gap near the Gulf of Papagayo, to test the ...

Geoid undulations and gravity anomalies over the Aral Sea, the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea from a combined GEOS-3/SEASAT/GEOSAT altimeter data set [PDF]

Satellite-based altimetric data taken by GOES-3, SEASAT, and GEOSAT over the Aral Sea, the Black Sea, and the Caspian Sea are analyzed and a least squares collocation technique is used to predict the geoid undulations on a 0.25x0.25 deg.

The Impact of Horizontal Resolution on Surface Irradiance Over Land in km‐Scale Earth System Models

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Storm‐resolving global climate models, approaching km‐scale grid spacings, are slowly emerging. With increasing horizontal resolution, we expect improvements in the surface radiation budget because (a) synoptic variability may be better represented, (b) convective systems are better resolved, and (c) landscape heterogeneity is represented in ...

Long and short arc altitude determination for GEOS-C [PDF]

The accuracy with which the GEOS-C altitude may be estimated over long (7 day) and short (40 minute) orbital arcs is investigated. Over the long are excellent agreement was attained between a simulation of the orbit determination process and a covariance

Contribution Quantification to Spring Low‐Level Jets Over the Western Bohai Sea Coast: Insights From Doppler LiDAR Observations, WRF Modeling and EOF Analysis

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Low‐level jets (LLJs), as dynamically significant narrow air currents in the lower troposphere, profoundly influence regional weather and anthropogenic activities. Motivated by persistent LLJs detected through Doppler LiDAR observations during March to April 2021, this study systematically characterizes these LLJs over Juehua Island (western ...
