Are West African Heat‐Lows Analogous to Dry Tropical Cyclones?
International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.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.

Formation and Arrest of a Surface Density Front via Strain‐Driven Frontogenesis
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract Ocean fronts play a key role in the vertical transport of heat, energy and biogeochemical tracers, but their behavior and life cycle is not well‐understood, especially at smaller scales. We present a large‐eddy simulation of mixed layer frontogenesis capturing the onset of a submesoscale regime from a larger scale, rotation‐dominated front ...

First considerations on the structure and development of the Iberian thermal low-pressure system
Annales GeophysicaeDuring the summer a thermal low-pressure system is locked over the Iberian Peninsula. We present a first analysis of such a system using the potential vorticity approach.

Baroclinic Submesoscale Eddies in the Ross Ice Shelf Cavity Alter Heat Pathways to the Ice Base
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract The influence of baroclinic submesoscale eddies on basal melting beneath Ross Ice Shelf remains poorly understood. We analyzed a 4.5‐year mooring record from the central cavity and identified seven eddy‐like events from variability in density, velocity, and thermohaline structure, with horizontal scales (∼11 km) characteristic of submesoscale ...

Stacked Cells Hypothesized for Jupiter's Atmosphere and Observed in Earth's Atmosphere
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract Observations of Jupiter's atmosphere led to the hypothesis that each of Jupiter's jets is accompanied by vertically stacked overturning circulations, with their nodes at the altitude of the jet maximum. However, there is no established theory for how these stacked cells form.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite provides a groundbreaking view of sea surface height (SSH) across a 120‐km‐wide swath (20‐km nadir gap), opening new opportunities to reconstruct vertical velocities (w) $(w)$. Vertical motions play a central role in redistributing properties, influencing climate and ecosystems. Using the

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract This study examines the large‐scale atmospheric response to reduced evapotranspiration during droughts in the Western U.S., using an observation‐based regression method and numerical experiments with a global climate model. We found that Western U.S.

A Climatology of Coupled Tracks of Extratropical Cyclones and Mesoscale Convective Systems
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract Weather in the midlatitudes is dominated by extratropical cyclones (ETCs) with horizontal length scales of roughly 1,000 km and mesoscale convective systems (MCSs), with horizontal length scales of roughly 100 km. This study investigates the multi‐scale interactions of these storms by comparing databases of Lagrangian tracks for both storm ...
