Error in ERA5 2‐m temperature identified using GraphCast

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We identify a recurrent error in ERA5 2‐m temperature over the Ethiopian Highlands that occurs predominantly at 0600 UTC on ≈7%$$ \approx 7\% $$ of dates. The artefact is caused by the 2D optimal‐interpolation scheme assimilating temporally displaced surface reports (e.g., 0900 UTC) into the 0600 UTC analysis.

Relationships between dryline intensity, deep moist convection and regional circulation over interior southern Africa

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We explore the relationship between dryline intensity, convective activity, and the regional circulation over southern Africa during summer by comparing weak and strong convective drylines with each other. We find that strong drylines result in stronger convection with up to 3.6 times more lightning strokes adjacent to the dryline than on weak dryline ...
