Large-Scale Influences on Atmospheric River Induced Extreme Precipitation Events Along the Coast of Washington State [PDF]
Atmospheric Rivers (ARs) are responsible for much of the precipitation along the west coast of the United States. In order to accurately predict AR events in numerical weather prediction, subseasonal and seasonal timescales, it is important to understand

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract Accurate regional air quality modeling is crucial for the development of effective air pollution mitigation plans. Precisely simulating meteorological conditions, especially planetary boundary layer (PBL) properties, is challenging due to complex land surface conditions.

Controls on the Vertical Profile of Moistening as a Function of Precipitation Rate [PDF]
The relationship between moisture tendency and precipitation rate has been identified as a process diagnostic relevant for simulation of the MJO. AGCMs with moistening that progressively deepens with precipitation rate demonstrate greater MJO skill ...

A Transboundary Air Quality Co‐Benefit of Ecological Restoration in Mongolia
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract Transboundary dust storms, fueled by rampant desertification in Mongolia, pose a severe environmental threat to hundreds of millions of people and to sustainable development across East Asia. While ecological restoration is a recognized solution, its potential and cross‐boundary benefits remain unquantified at a policy‐relevant scale.
