Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Spatial Asymmetries in the Lesser Antilles

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.
Rainfall is not proportional to the Saffir‐Simpson wind‐based categories. Lower category tropical cyclones (TS, H1, H2 and H3) can generate more intense rainfall than H4 and H5. Rainfall is asymmetric; as a tropical cyclone intensifies or weakens, the location of peak rainfall shifts.

A Climatology of Coupled Tracks of Extratropical Cyclones and Mesoscale Convective Systems

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Weather in the midlatitudes is dominated by extratropical cyclones (ETCs) with horizontal length scales of roughly 1,000 km and mesoscale convective systems (MCSs), with horizontal length scales of roughly 100 km. This study investigates the multi‐scale interactions of these storms by comparing databases of Lagrangian tracks for both storm ...

Linkage Between Atmospheric Rivers and Overshooting Convection and Their Roles on UTLS Water Vapor During the North American Monsoon: Insight From DCOTSS

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Overshooting convection significantly impacts the composition of the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS), yet its linkage to Atmospheric Rivers (ARs) remains poorly understood. This study investigates how ARs modulate environmental conditions and moisture distribution associated with overshooting convection in the central and ...

Estimating High Spatio-Temporal Resolution Rainfall from MSG1 and GPM IMERG Based on Machine Learning: Case Study of Iran

Remote Sensing, 2019
A new satellite-based technique for rainfall retrieval in high spatio-temporal resolution (3 km, 15 min) for Iran is presented. The algorithm is based on the infrared bands of the Meteosat Second Generation Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager ...

Exploring the Influence of Equatorial Waves on a Record‐Breaking Extreme Precipitation Event in Central Sahel: Insights From Convection Permitting Simulations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The floods of 01 September 2009 in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, were among the most severe in the Central Sahel's history, highlighting the region's persistent flood risk. This extreme precipitation event (EPE) was influenced by various atmospheric drivers, including Convectively Coupled Equatorial Waves (CCEWs).

Assessment of GPM and TRMM Multi-Satellite Precipitation Products in Streamflow Simulations in a Data-Sparse Mountainous Watershed in Myanmar

Remote Sensing, 2017
Satellite precipitation products from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission and its predecessor the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) are a critical data source for hydrological applications in ungauged basins.

A Novel Approach to Identify Sources of Errors in IMERG for GPM Ground Validation

Journal of Hydrometeorology, 2016
Abstract The comparison of satellite and high-quality, ground-based estimates of precipitation is an important means to assess the confidence in satellite-based algorithms and to provide a benchmark for their continued development and future improvement.

Performance Evaluation of the MPAS Model in Simulating Southeast Asian Rainfall Characteristics

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 7, 15 June 2026.
This study evaluates the performance of the Model for Prediction Across Scales–Atmosphere (MPAS) in reproducing key rainfall characteristics over Southeast Asia (SEA) during 2000–2020, using the MSWEP dataset as reference. MPAS realistically captures the observed meridional rainfall gradient, with higher rainfall in the south and lower in the north, as

Hydrologic Evaluation of TRMM and GPM IMERG Satellite-Based Precipitation in a Humid Basin of China [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2019
Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) is one of the most popular global high resolution satellite-based precipitation products with a goal of measuring precipitation over the oceans and tropics. However, in recent years, the TRMM mission has come to an end. Its successor, Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission was launched to measure the

Seasonal Characteristics of Mesoscale Convective Systems Over the Philippines

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 7, 15 June 2026.
This study examines how mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) over the Philippines are most frequent during boreal summer, while those in winter are longer‐lived and more intense due to cold surges and enhanced easterly moisture transport. Intraseasonal oscillations, such as the Madden‐Julian Oscillation (MJO) and the Boreal Summer Intraseasonal ...
