How weather got its words: a history of meteorological English – Part 2: the scientific age and beyond

Weather, EarlyView.
The English language is a gargantuan, gluttonous beast. It has become extraordinary in its powers of assimilation – such that we rarely consider the origins of the words we use. In this paper, we will shed light on these origins, including the Pontic–Caspian steppe, the British Empire and, of course, a TV show.

Modelling representation errors of atmospheric CO₂ mixing ratios at a regional scale [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2008
Inverse modelling of carbon sources and sinks requires an accurate quality estimate of the modelling framework to obtain a realistic estimate of the inferred fluxes and their uncertainties.

Climatic conditions, landscape, and habitat quality drive patch occupancy and larval density of a threatened mire butterfly

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The Moorland Clouded Yellow (Colias palaeno) benefited from cattle grazing in three different ways by (i) fostering the nectar supply; (ii) enhancing rejuvenation of the host plant (Vaccinium uliginosum); and (iii) improving microclimatic conditions for successful development of the immature stages.

Measuring Clear‐Air Vertical Motions From Space

AGU Advances
Measuring vertical velocity in the atmosphere has long been a challenge due to its small magnitude. Taking advantage of the modulation of free tropospheric relative humidity by vertical motions, we derive analytical relationships that allow us to ...

Global spatiotemporal variability of chlorophyll a and environmental drivers revealed by empirical orthogonal function analysis

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2026.
Abstract Chlorophyll a (Chl a) is a key indicator of phytoplankton biomass and marine primary productivity, linking ocean ecosystem change to biogeochemical cycling and climate. Understanding the environmental controls on long‐term Chl a variability is therefore essential.

Enhanced Assessment of Offshore Wind Resources for the Southeastern Coastal Region of China Using 4‐km WRF Modeling

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Offshore wind energy development in China's coastal regions represents a critical pathway toward achieving carbon neutrality goals, yet accurate resource assessment remains challenging due to complex marine meteorological conditions. This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of offshore wind resources in Fujian Province using convection ...

Rainfall Frequency Analysis to Estimate Probable Maximum Precipitation Using Stochastic Storm Transposition With Radar–Rain Gauge Data in Japan

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Reliable design precipitation estimation is vital for flood risk management and infrastructure design. In Japan, the Depth‐Area‐Duration (DAD) method is widely used for operational Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) estimation, but it lacks a probabilistic link to rainfall frequency and does not yield the spatiotemporal rainfall fields ...

Estimating the Geostrophic–Ageostrophic Transition Scale in Ocean Currents From Wind Generated Waves

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract SWOT resolves sea surface height at spatial scales where geostrophic balance may break down and ageostrophic motions become significant, making identification of the transition scale essential. We test whether wind generated waves provide an independent diagnostic of this transition.

Enhanced Subsurface Warming of the Kuroshio Revealed by Long‐Term Observations During 1965–2020

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract The Kuroshio transports large amounts of heat from the tropical to extratropical Pacific, playing a crucial role in regional climate changes. However, how the temperature and heat transport changes of the Kuroshio under a warming climate remain ambiguous.

Impact of Convective Intensity on Mixed‐Phase Evolution and Upper Positive Charge Region Formation in an Isolated Convective Cloud

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Lightning initiation depends on the charge separation within the mixed‐phase areas of convective clouds, where graupel, ice, and supercooled water interact. However, the specific mixed‐phase structures that enhance charge separation remain unclear.
