Microphysics and interactions of aerosols and fog on the northwest Atlantic Ocean
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.In the Grand Banks, aerosol size distributions were bimodal, aerosol and fog droplet concentrations were low, and fogs were shorter (<12 hours). In contrast, near Sable Island, aerosol size distributions had a single broad mode that was likely influenced by continental emissions, corresponding with higher aerosol and droplet concentrations as well as ...

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Uncertainties in the representation of ice particle size distributions (PSDs) cause inaccuracies in parameterisations of clouds. In this study, observed PSDs from a midlatitude frontal case study are compared with gamma PSDs with the same concentration and ice water content.

Remote SensingHeavy precipitation in Northeast China is frequently modulated by the Northeast China Cold Vortex (NCCV), although the microphysical processes within squall lines under such conditions remain insufficiently understood. This study presents a comprehensive

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.We document the protocol and first results from the first ever coordinated multimodel variable‐resolution experiment set with refinement over the polar regions. We find that the refinement generally yields model‐dependent effects. The most consistent improvement is an amelioration of the upper‐level cold bias in the polar regions that translates into ...

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.In this study, the synoptic conditions for modes of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) in South Korea are generalized based on composite analysis. The preferred precipitation region, synoptic patterns, moisture transport, sea surface temperature and thermodynamic and dynamic instabilities are characterized according to four modes: convective cells (CC)

Geophysical Research LettersConvective overshooting significantly influences atmospheric material and energy cycles and can cause severe social impacts; nevertheless, aerosol effects on its microphysical structure and associated extreme weather remain unclear. Using a more accurate

Rare Lightning and Convection Characteristics During Two Successive Tornadoes in Southern China
High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Systematic investigations into lightning characteristics of tornado storms in China remain scarce. This study comprehensively analyses rare lightning behaviour and overshooting top characteristics for two successive tornadoes during a long‐lived supercell in southern China on 27 April 2024.

STREETS AS STAGES: Traffic Enforcement and the Competition for Cultural Growth in China
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In keeping with China’s desire to build soft power to parallel its economic growth, the policing of city streets has moved to the forefront as a mechanism for moral regulation and improving urban prestige. Under pressure to civilize their citizenry, many Chinese cities have become entrepreneurial cities within a type of cultural growth ...

Characterizing atmospheric aerosols using polarimetry and shadow hiding
Frontiers in Remote SensingUnpolarized sunlight is scattered by aerosols acquiring partial linear polarization. By aiming a ground-based detector vertically upward, it can record the polarimetric response of aerosols that are illuminated by the Sun.
