International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Climate models generally reproduce the WAWJ and August peak but simulate its onset prematurely and too strongly relative to ERA5. CMIP6 simulations struggle to reproduce the jet–precipitation relationship in the Sahel and underrepresent associated moisture transports.

Retrieval and Attribution of Tropical Cyclone Vertical Tilt From SAR and Infrared Satellite Imagery
Geophysical Research LettersTropical cyclones (TCs) are destructive natural hazards, and their vertical tilt, defined as the displacement between the sea surface center and cloud top center, plays a key role in storm structure and intensity changes.

Alaskan Ridge Blocking and Associated Winter Cold Conditions Over North America
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Multi‐decadal (1979–2023) analysis reveals that wintertime reductions in the meridional gradient of potential vorticity (PVy) over the Bering Sea are recurrent but episodic features of North Pacific circulation. These suppressed PVy states consistently co‐occur with amplified Alaskan ridging, weakened mid‐tropospheric westerlies and a downstream warm ...

Persistent and highly contrasting biological patterns in the southwestern sector of the Atlantic Ocean: relating local circulation to phytoplankton pigment biomass [PDF]
, 2011 Primary production in the Southern Ocean (SO) is believed to be mostly iron limited; despite the high macronutrient content of waters transported by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the SO is considered a High Nutrient Low Chlorophyll region.

Are West African Heat‐Lows Analogous to Dry Tropical Cyclones?
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Heat‐lows qualitatively resemble dry tropical cyclones (TCs), though their underlying physics has yet to be compared. In this study, we show that West African transient heat‐low climatology correlates well with TC potential intensity generalised over land.

, 2008 The vast expanses of oceanic waters are continuously in motion and one wonders what makes ocean waters in a state of perpetual restlessness. Ocean currents are important as they redistribute heat, salt, nutrients, and biological organisms.

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Over the past 60 years, noticeable changes have been observed in the main hydroclimatological variables, driven by both natural and anthropogenic factors. In the context of climate change, such behaviour may adversely affect the state's economic activities, as well as increase the recurrence of extreme events in the region.

Weather Patterns Associated With Coastal Disasters in Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.The study identified weather patterns (WPs) associated with coastal disasters between 1998 and 2020 along the Santa Catarina coast, Brazil. Using atmospheric and oceanographic data combined with official disaster records, five WPs were defined, mainly associated with cyclonic and anticyclonic systems linked to extreme wave events.
