Permafrost Distribution in the Canadian Rockies: Key Variables Influencing Patch‐Scale Variability

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 372-390, July/September 2026.
ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of permafrost in mountainous regions is influenced by various factors such as topography, climate, vegetation, and substrate. Despite the existence of comprehensive permafrost maps at national and global levels, they fail to accurately represent the patch‐scale (e.g., < 25 m) permafrost distribution in characteristic ...

Advancing Toward Gray Zone: Evaluation of Tropical Cyclones in Key Basins With the 12.5 km High Resolution CAS FGOALS‐f3 Model

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract State‐of‐the‐art climate models are approaching gray‐zone resolutions that can improve the representation of tropical cyclones (TCs), but the extent of these gains remains uncertain. This study evaluates the effect of spatial resolution, particularly near the gray‐zone, using three resolution configurations of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ...

Thermally-forced Circulation II: Mountain/Valley Breezes

open access: yes, 2002
This module describes the phenomena of the mountain/valley breeze. It examines factors that lead to the formation of a mountain/valley breeze, modifying effects on mountain/valley breeze development, how mesoscale NWP models handle mountain/valley ...

Assessing Dominant Uncertainties in Future Precipitation Projections for a Hurricane‐Prone Region

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Accurate projection of future precipitation remains challenging due to uncertainties in reference data sets, bias correction and global climate models (GCMs). Here, we evaluated these uncertainties across 13 major cities of the U.S. Gulf Coast, a hurricane‐prone region, under 192 historical and future scenarios.

Assessing the Relative Roles of Soil Water Potential and Atmospheric Demand on Vegetation Water Stress in Semi‐arid Ecosystems

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Understanding vegetation's response to soil water availability and atmospheric demand is critical for assessing the impact of drought and climate change on semi‐arid ecosystems. However, limited field‐based research has been conducted to assess the relative importance of these drivers on vegetation productivity.

Assimilation of Fullness to Improve the Intensity and Structure of Tropical Cyclone Forecasting

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Numerical forecasts often underestimate the intensity of tropical cyclones (TCs). One strategy to mitigate the intensity underestimation is to improve the realism of the initial vortex. However, direct observations of TC intensities and structures are limited. It is thus necessary to utilize indirect observations.
