Multiscale numerical sensitivity simulations of a mesoscale gravity‐wave event

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
High‐resolution WRF simulations of the February 14–15, 1992 STORM‐FEST event show that mesoscale gravity‐wave genesis occurs via geostrophic adjustment within an upper‐level unbalanced jet, while wave ducting governs maintenance. High‐resolution (1 km), improved physical parameterization, and targeted sensitivity simulations demonstrate that upstream ...

Impact of fragmented urbanization on observed precipitation

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study investigates the impact of fragmented urban landscapes on downwind precipitation by applying an innovative observation‐centered approach to an extensive rain gauge network in Belgium. The approach classifies the observations based on the upwind urban land cover fraction, and compares precipitation indices between rural‐ and urban‐labeled ...

Evaluation and assimilation of Arctic Weather Satellite data in the AROME‐Arctic forecast system

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The Arctic Weather Satellite (AWS), launched in August 2024, is a prototype for the future EPS–Sterna constellation of small satellites carrying an innovative microwave sounder. We present the first assessment of AWS in the regional AROME‐Arctic numerical weather prediction system, covering post‐launch calibration results and the impact of AWS ...

Mesoscale Meteorology/Hydrology Experiment?

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1984
Scientific progress in the field of surface water hydrology appears currently to be constrained by a lack of comprehensive field data involving the coordinated simultaneous observation of many meteorological and hydrologic variables at mesoscale. Mesoscale meteorological experiments are underactive discussion by (1) a U.S.

The benefit of neighborhood methods for the assimilation of cloud‐affected radiances evaluated in observing‐system simulation experiments

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Neighborhood methods are commonly used in verification to avoid the double‐penalty issue. This study evaluates such methods for the assimilation of infrared and visible satellite observations and extends them to multiscale assimilation. Moreover, a novel technique is tested aimed at mitigating complex biases and structural errors in real‐world model ...

Nowcasting convective cores using deep learning

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Key findings: •$$ \bullet $$ Network for Nowcasting Convective Cores (NetNCC) has considerable potential for convective storm nowcasting and the development of early warning systems for extreme rainfall. •$$ \bullet $$ Skilful nowcasts of convective cores are obtained at fine spatial resolutions (<30km$$ <30\kern0.15em \mathrm{km} $$) for up to 2 hr ...

Implementation of an Urban Canopy Parameterization in a Mesoscale Meteorological Model

Journal of Applied Meteorology, 2004
Abstract An urban canopy parameterization (UCP) is implemented into the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) to improve meteorological fields in the urban boundary layer for finescale (∼1-km horizontal grid spacing) simulations.

Structural changes in the interannual variability of extreme autumn precipitation in eastern Spain and the weakening of synoptic forcing

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Total autumn precipitation in eastern Spain remains stable between 1950 and 2024, masking a substantial internal redistribution between ordinary and extreme rainfall. While torrential precipitation (Rp95) increases and ordinary precipitation (Ro) decreases, the extreme contribution index (Cext) shows a significant positive trend and a structural shift ...

Lightning electromagnetic emission location using arrival time differencing (LEELA): An introduction to the Met Office's next generation Very Low Frequency lightning location system

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This paper describes the Met Office's new lightning location system LEELA. A brief overview of the upgraded hardware and geolocation algorithms is given. LEELA has improved lightning detection capabilities, especially at night. When comparing LEELA to the previous ATDnet system against ground truths LEELA has 100% storm detection efficiency within 5 km

A new scale‐selective measure of curvature for meteorological fields

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We introduce a novel diagnostic called curvature using radial variation (CURV) that quantifies the local cyclonic or anticyclonic curvature of mean‐sea‐level pressure or geopotential height gridded fields over selected scales. A depiction of how CURV values relate to differing cyclonic curvature is shown in the figure.
