ERA5‐Based Convective Environments Favorable for Tornadoes in Southern China
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract Tornado occurrences vary significantly across regions in the globe, attributable in part to variations in regional climate and topography. This study analyzes the long‐term convective environments associated with tornadoes in southern China, a region previously identified as having the most favorable meteorological conditions for tornadoes ...

Total Lightning Characteristics with Respect to Radar-Derived Mesocyclone Strength [PDF]
, 2015 Recent work investigating the microphysical and kinematic relationship between a storm's updraft, its total lightning production, and manifestations of severe weather has resulted in development of tools for improved nowcasting of storm intensity.

Detection and thermal description of medicanes from numerical simulation [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014 Tropical-like cyclones rarely affect the Mediterranean region but they can produce strong winds and heavy precipitations. These warm-core cyclones, called MEDICANES (MEDIterranean hurriCANES), are small in size, develop over the sea and are infrequent ...

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract This study proposes a new scheme combining ensemble blending and dual‐localization of ensemble error covariance in an ensemble‐variational (EnVar) framework to better account for both the multi‐scale characteristics of the background and background error covariance for high‐resolution data assimilation and forecasting.

Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Structural characteristics of an EF4 tornado in Funing were reproduced through numerical simulation with a hectometer‐scale resolution. Results demonstrate that the tornado initiated in the mid‐ to upper‐levels, with the stretching term of the vorticity equation playing a dominant role throughout its development. ABSTRACT Tornadoes are characterized by
