Seasonal Reversal of Polarity Dominance in High‐Current Cloud‐to‐Ground Return Strokes Over East Asian Midlatitudes

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Extreme positive cloud‐to‐ground lightning over East Asian midlatitudes exhibits a spring–autumn double maximum hidden by the familiar winter climatology. Using 1,838,538 return strokes with absolute peak currents at least 200 kA during 2006–2024, we resolve its annual cycle by month and latitude.

Unique Vertical Characteristics of Hydrometeors Observed in the Tropical Cyclone Outer Rainband Region

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the vertical cloud microphysics in the stratiform sectors of Hurricane Tammy's outer rainband region and their relationship to local environments. We used in situ Optical Array Probe (OAP) measurements and tail‐Doppler radar data from four NOAA P‐3 spiral modules on 19–22 October 2023, as Tammy intensified from a ...

The ORCA‐TWIN qCMOS Experiment I. Science Case and Commissioning at Calar Alto Observatory

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 7, August 2026.
ABSTRACT We describe a pilot study to explore a new generation of fast and low noise CMOS image sensors for time domain astronomy, using two remote telescopes with a baseline of 1635 km. The experiment involves direct imaging with novel qCMOS image sensor technology that combines fast readout with sub‐electron readout noise.
