Covariance of the intertropical discontinuity and African easterly jet in Sahelian wet and dry years

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Intertropical discontinuity and African easterly jet (AEJ) positions are strongly correlated, with a more pronounced linear relationship across wet years. Surface heat flux anomalies modify low‐level temperature and sensible heat flux gradients that shift the AEJ core south of the gradient maxima in both composites.

Evaluation of a Soviet-Era Gravimetric Survey Using Absolute Gravity Measurements and Global Gravity Models: Toward the First National Geoid of Kazakhstan

Geosciences
Determining a high-precision national geoid is a fundamental step in modernizing Kazakhstan’s vertical reference system. However, the country’s vast territory, complex topography, and limited coverage of modern terrestrial and airborne gravimetric ...

Climate model simulation of winter warming and summer cooling following the 1991 Mount Pinatubo volcanic eruption

, 1999
We simulate climate change for the 2-year period following the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines on June 15, 1991, with the ECHAM4 general circulation model (GCM).

Spatial and temporal variability of wet spells and their role in wet and dry summers and winters in Australia

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.

Improving Geoidal Height Estimates from Global Geopotential Model Using Regression Model and GPS Data [PDF]

, 1997
Conventionally, for most application, position of a point is often referred to the geoid as the reference surface. Thus there is an important need for the knowledge of the geoid undulation in the area where positioning tasks is performed, This ...

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 ...

An Ensemble Mean and Evaluation of Third Generation Global Climate Reanalysis Models

Atmosphere, 2018
We have produced a global ensemble mean of the four third-generation climate reanalysis models for the years 1981–2010. The reanalysis system models used in this study are National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Climate Forecast System

Evaluation of recent Global Geopotential Models over South Africa

South African Journal of Geomatics
This study evaluates the performance of three recent global geopotential models (GGMs) — WHU-SWPU-GOGR2022S, GOSG02S, and Tongji-GMMG2021S — over South Africa by comparing both height anomalies and free-air gravity anomalies derived from these models to data from 141 GPS/levelling points and 105,408 gravity data stations, respectively.

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.
