Systematic Benchmarking of Climate Models: Methodologies, Applications, and New Directions

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract As climate models become increasingly complex, there is a growing need to comprehensively and systematically assess model performance with respect to observations. Given the increasing number and diversity of climate model simulations in use, the community has moved beyond simple model intercomparison and toward developing methods capable of ...

Data Fixing Algorithm in Radiosonde Monitoring Process

Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2017
Earth surface monitoring can give information that may be used in complex analysis of the air conditions, temperature, humidity etc. Data from a vertical profile of the atmosphere is also essential for accurate thunderstorm forecasting.

Observations and Modeling of the Longest‐Recorded Delayed Sprite

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Transient luminous events (TLEs), such as sprites, have been investigated via observations and simulations for decades. Recent TLE research has focused on effects leading to the delay of a sprite from its parent lightning flash. Here we investigate a sprite with by far the longest recorded delay to date, a delay of almost a full second (916.6 ±

Environments Associated With Lightning Occurrence Based on Pre‐ and Post‐Convective Rawinsonde Measurements in Central Europe

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Rawinsonde measurements from Central Europe were evaluated to investigate environments associated with lightning. The study compared lightning and non‐lightning profiles, pre‐ and post‐convective profiles, and varying lightning flash rates. In total, 137,501 quality‐controlled measurements from 2006 to 2018 were used, along with 327 convective

Radiosonde‐to‐Space (R2S) Atmospheric Specifications: Bridging Observations and Models for Infrasound Propagation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Infrasound propagation is inherently asymmetric and time‐dependent, making accurate atmospheric specifications essential for predicting when and where signals arrive. The Naval Research Laboratory's Ground‐to‐Space (G2S) model is widely used for this purpose, yet discrepancies between G2S predictions and observations highlight the need for ...

Improved models of upper-level wind for several astronomical observatories

, 2010
An understanding of wind speed and direction as a function of height are critical to the proper modeling of atmospheric turbulence. We have used radiosonde data from launch sites near significant astronomical observatories and created mean profiles of ...

Surface Drag Coefficient Observations in Western North Pacific Tropical Cyclones

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Surface momentum flux and drag coefficient are critical factors influencing the structure and intensity of tropical cyclones (TCs). However, due to limited measurements, the behavior of these quantities, particularly in TCs over the western North Pacific (WNP), is not fully understood.

Skillful Polar WRF Cloud Modeling of a Warm Winter Atmospheric River at the Antarctic Peninsula

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Atmospheric rivers are episodic events that can advect relatively large quantities of moisture to Antarctica, contributing to both disproportionate precipitation and melting events. The Year of Polar Prediction, an international effort to improve weather prediction over the southern polar region, presents an opportunity to study the clouds and

Statistical analysis and use of the VAS radiance data [PDF]

, 1984
Special radiosonde soundings at 75 km spacings and 3 hour intervals provided an opportunity to learn more about mesoscale data and storm-environment interactions. Relatively small areas of intense convection produce major changes in surrounding fields of

Observational Evidence for Wind‐Driven Low‐Pass Filtering of Infrasound at Short Range

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Infrasound from controlled explosions provides a unique opportunity to isolate atmospheric effects on propagation. We report observations from two campaigns in May and October 2024, each featuring 10‐ton TNT‐equivalent controlled surface chemical explosions recorded by a dense network of 31 single‐sensor stations within 23 km.
