Extreme rainfall in southern China in April 2024 and its potential link to weather events across south Asia

Weather, EarlyView.
This study documents the unseasonal and prolonged heavy rain events which occurred in southern China during April 2024. In this series of extreme rainfall events, Guangdong province recorded extreme rainfall exceeding 6‐sigma of climatology, with eleven cities reporting record‐breaking rainfall.

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.

Trends in thunderstorm days, lightning activity, squalls and the environmental factors in Hong Kong

Weather, EarlyView.
This study analyses trends in Hong Kong's convective weather using long‐term observer‐based and shorter‐term instrument‐based data. Annual thunderstorm days increased significantly by 1.9 days decade−1 in 1947–2024, notably in June–September, consistent with increasingly favourable warm‐season environments for thunderstorms.

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.

Multimetrics Assessment of Explicit Hail Size Prediction Using Two- and Three-Moment Microphysical Schemes for a Severe Hailstorm in Northeastern China

Advances in Meteorology
At midnight on September 30, 2021, a severe hailstorm swept over northeastern China, producing egg-sized hail over Dalian Airport, causing damages to more than 40 aircrafts and imposing tremendous pressure on operational capacity of the airport.

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.

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1704-1734, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

A mathematical-physical formulation of a mesoscale limited area model in meteorology

Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti : Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali
In this paper we give a detailed mathematical-physical derivation of a limited area meteorological model, used in several applications, describing the motions and the behaviour of the atmosphere, in the troposphere layer, at mesoscale range, modeled as a

Recent progress in atmospheric modeling over the Andes – part I: review of atmospheric processes

Frontiers in Earth Science
The Andes is the longest mountain range in the world, stretching from tropical South America to austral Patagonia (12°N-55°S). Along with the climate differences associated with latitude, the Andean region also features contrasting slopes and elevations,
