Storm Structure and Lightning Characteristics of Tornado-hail-producing Supercell in Guangzhou on 27 April 2024

应用气象学报
Due to the limited coverage of three-dimensional lightning detection networks, research on the total lightning characteristics of supercells that produce tornadoes and hail remains insufficient in China.

The loss of an Indigenous‐maintained She‐Oak woodland in southeast Australia

Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2026.
A 2600‐year multi‐proxy palaeoecological record (pollen, charcoal, and sediment) from Balfour Swamp, east Gippsland, reveals the persistence of an open, grassy She‐Oak woodland maintained by GunaiKurnai. This vegetation community, resilient to climatic variability and fire, was lost following the disruption of Aboriginal land management and replaced by

3-Dimensional Lightning Observations Using a Time-of-Arrival Lightning Mapping System [PDF]

, 2001
A lightning mapping system has been developed that lo-cates the sources of VHF radiation from lightning dis-charges in three spatial dimensions and time. The system consists of several VHF receivers distributed over an area of about 100 km diameter.

What Drives Precipitation Intensification During Zonal Atmospheric Rivers Landfalling in the Extratropical Andes?

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract The extratropical Andes, a hotspot for landfalling atmospheric rivers (ARs), are prone to extreme precipitation and related hydrological hazards, including floods and landslides. An improved understanding of the drivers of precipitation intensification during AR landfall is critical for hazard preparedness. Focusing on 50 zonally elongated ARs

Analysis of the Charge Structure and Lightning Activity During a Severe Beijing Thunderstorm via an Innovative Balloon‐Borne 3D Electric Field Observation System

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract We developed an innovative balloon‐borne observation system based on China's BeiDou sounding platform that integrates a three‐axis electric field sensor for in‐cloud measurements of thunderstorm electrification. On 13 May 2025, this system was deployed during a severe convective storm over Beijing. In combination with multisource observations,

Sprites Observed by ASIM: First Imaging Data Set and Temporal UV Emission Patterns

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract We present the first data set analysis of 41 imaging‐confirmed sprite events detected by the ASIM‐MMIA instrument. They were visible in the 337 nm camera images from an initial list of 102 candidates identified by the ultraviolet (UV 180–230 nm) photometer.

Terrestrial Gamma‐Ray Flash Following Intense Negative Return Stroke Observed With BIMAP‐3D

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract We report ground‐based observations of a terrestrial gamma‐ray flash (TGF) associated with a strong negative cloud‐to‐ground lightning strike (‐CG) which occurred near Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico, USA. Gamma photons were detected by the Terrestrial High‐energy Observations of Radiation (THOR) instrument, developed at ...

A Spatio-Temporal User-Centric Distance for Forecast Verification

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2018
When predicting thunderstorms and localized severe weather events, close calls occur more frequently than direct hits. This makes it difficult for traditional verification approaches to fully represent forecast performance since events observed near a ...
