Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract This study investigates the potential impacts of frequent global coverage of satellite microwave radiances using a global atmospheric data assimilation (DA) system. Observing Systems Simulation Experiments (OSSEs) were performed using the Local Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter with the Nonhydrostatic Icosahedral Atmospheric Model (NICAM ...

Properties of Positive Narrow Bipolar Events Observed in South‐Eastern France
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract Narrow bipolar events (NBEs) are brief intracloud discharges that generate the most intense radiation in the high frequency and very high frequency radio bands. Their occurrence is statistically correlated with strong convection and typically takes place in the upper regions of thunderclouds.

Medicane characteristics from high‐resolution satellite radar observations
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 152, Issue 776, April 2026 Part A.This study uses high‐resolution observations from satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to reveal that medicanes, cyclones with tropical features in the Mediterranean basin, have dynamical characteristics with attributes comparable with those of tropical cyclones of similar intensities, but smaller outer sizes and Rossby numbers.

Meteosat‐6 experiences anomaly
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1994 Following a successful launch on November 20, 1993, the European Space Agency's Meteosat‐6 satellite began to experience an anomaly in the functioning of its radiometer, which affects the spacecraft's full operational capabilities.The anomaly was discovered in December during quality checks of the infrared images.

Diurnal evolution of cloud base heights in convective cloud fields from MSG/SEVIRI data [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2009 This study shows that it is possible to retrieve the temporal evolution of cloud base heights in convective broken cloud fields from data of the SEVIRI instrument onboard the geostationary satellite Meteosat-9.

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 152, Issue 776, April 2026 Part A.Though many studies have shown potential benefit in assimilating all‐sky infrared radiances from geostationary satellites, at numerical weather prediction centres it is still common practice to assimilate clear‐sky radiances. We present the operationalization of the all‐sky assimilation of the spinning enhanced visible and infrared imager (SEVIRI ...
