Multi‐Country‐Multi‐City Characterisation of Heat Stress and Exposure in Africa

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first continent‐wide, grid‐specific assessment of heat stress trends in Africa, revealing a sharp rise in multi‐scale extreme heat episodes and shifting population exposure. Findings highlight urgent implications for urban planning and climate adaptation.

Addressing the World War 2 Warm Anomaly in HadSST.4.2.0.0

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
We present an update to the Hadley Centre Sea‐Surface Temperature dataset (HadSST.4.2.0.0) that addresses residual warm bias during the Second World War (WW2). Using a quantitative definition of the WW2 warm anomaly we identify Engine Room Intake (ERI) bias corrections as the dominant factor in HadSST4, and use this to propose new constraints on ERI ...

Long‐Term Variability and Spatial Differentiation of the Frost‐Free Period in Iceland

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Warming in Iceland (May–September) is expressed as fewer Tmin < 0°C days in the interior and more Tmin > 0°C days along the coasts. ABSTRACT Climate change in subarctic regions leads to significant transformations in thermal conditions; however, the long‐term variability of the frost‐free season (FFS)—and consequently, the growing period—remains poorly

On the role of atmosphere physics and warming pattern in climate feedback

The accurate prediction of future warming depends on understanding key processes like climate feedback, aerosol interactions, and radiative transfer, all of which are explored in this thesis.

Non‐Stationary Dry‐Spell Hazard Probabilities for Spain

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study assesses long‐term changes in dry‐spell hazard probabilities across Spain (1961–2024) using a novel non‐stationary extreme value framework applied to daily precipitation records from a dense observational network. Results show that dry‐spell duration and associated return levels are dominantly stationary, with non‐stationary models providing

Realistic natural atmospheric phenomena and weather effects for interactive virtual environments.

Clouds and the weather are important aspects of any natural outdoor scene, but existing dynamic techniques within computer graphics only offer the simplest of cloud representations. The problem that this work looks to address is how to provide a means of

Characterisation of Drought and Wet Events in the Paraíba do Sul River Basin—Brazil

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Trend analysis identified statistically significant reductions in precipitation (at the 5% significance level) at specific pluviometric stations in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, while other areas, mainly in Minas Gerais, experienced significant increases in annual and seasonal rainfall, particularly during summer and spring. These significant trends at

Decadal Changes of UV Aerosol Optical Depth in Hobart, Australia Measured With a Brewer MKIII: Relationship to Bushfire Events and Climate Indices

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Monthly average aerosol optical depth at 320 nm obtained with a Brewer MKIII spectrophotometer for Hobart, Australia (42.8806° S, 147.3250° E) over a 21‐year period. There is a linear trend of 15.4% per decade. There are 9 months when the average aerosol optical depth exceeds twice the monthly standard deviation.

Scaling of Short‐Duration, Summer Rainfall Event Temporal Profiles With Warming Over Great Britain

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Temperature scaling has been used to analyse the temporal profiles of short‐duration, summer rainfall events in Great Britain, for sub‐hourly observed and convection‐permitting climate model (CPM) data. Results show an increase with dewpoint temperature of event total rainfall depth, maximum intensity, concentration and front‐loading.

Tropicalization of the Temperate Zone: Spatiotemporal Variability of Winter Warming and Declining Freeze Days Across the United States

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Unique characteristics of winter daily minimum (Tmin) and maximum (Tmax) temperatures and freeze days across the conterminous United States from 1952 to 2024 are examined. Results show spatial heterogeneity in Tmin/Tmax warming rates across the tropical‐temperate transition zone in the southeastern United States, and that the highest temperature on the
