Transport to the Extratropical Stratosphere by Overshooting Storms in Idealized Simulations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Deep convection is a significant source of water to the extratropical stratosphere which can alter radiative properties and contribute to ozone loss. Previous studies find it responsible for 40% of mid‐latitude water vapor above 380K. However, the amount of hydration from individual storms and the mechanisms that initiate mixing is less ...

Quantifying range‐ and topographical biases in weather surveillance radar measures of migratory bird activity

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation
Weather radar systems have become a central tool in the study of nocturnal bird migration. Yet, while studies have sought to validate weather radar data through comparison to other sampling techniques, few have explicitly examined the impact of range and

Urban Land Surface Effects on Summertime Clouds and Moist Convection in Houston Under Different Synoptic Conditions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Urban landscapes modify cloud formation and convection through complex thermodynamic and aerodynamic processes; however, their influence under different synoptic regimes remains poorly understood. This study investigates the impact of the Houston metropolitan area on summertime cloud cover and convective cell characteristics using a ...

Simulation of Water Vapor Transport to the Stratosphere by Overshooting Convection

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Deep convection that penetrates the tropopause (overshooting convection) transports water vapor and other tropospheric constituents to the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS). Overshooting convection has chemical and radiative impacts on the UTLS, including the downward transport of ozone and hydration of the stratosphere ...

The June 2012 North American Derecho: A Testbed for Evaluating Regional and Global Climate Modeling Systems at Cloud‐Resolving Scales

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2023
In this paper, we introduce a testbed for evaluating and comparing climate modeling systems at cloud resolving scales using hindcasts of the June 2012 North American derecho. To demonstrate its utility for model intercomparison, the testbed is applied to

Plume‐Coupled Long‐Range Spotting Drove the Explosive Spread of the 2018 Camp Fire

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Extreme fire spread during the 2018 Camp Fire in northern California was driven by organized long‐range spotting tightly coupled to plume dynamics. Doppler radar and satellite observations reveal distinct regions of ember lofting and downwind fallout within the convective column, forming direct pathways for firebrand transport several (up to ...

Identifying Wet Troposphere Delay in L‐Band InSAR Using Weather Radar Reflectivity

Earth and Space Science
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) pulses undergo variable propagation delays in the atmosphere due to changes in pressure, temperature, and humidity within the troposphere, causing large error in Interferometric SAR (InSAR) measurements of land surface ...

Characterization and Localization of Chemical Explosions and Lightning Flashes by a Flotilla of Stratospheric Balloons

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract On 3 August 2021, a flotilla of four Heliotrope solar hot air balloons was launched from central New Mexico (USA). The balloons, equipped with microbarometers, flew from sunrise to sunset at altitudes between 17 and 22 km. During the flight, eight chemical explosions ranging from 45 to 136 kg TNT equivalent and a thunderstorm occurred in the ...
