How Lateral Flow Impacts Heavy Rainfall in Complex Terrain: A Composite Analysis Over the Southern Anhui Mountainous Region

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract High‐resolution modeling of terrestrial hydrological processes offers new opportunities to advance the understanding of land‐atmosphere (L‐A) interactions. To investigate the impact of soil lateral flow (LF) on heavy rainfall events in mountainous areas of the Yangtze‐Huai region, we conducted two sets of convection‐permitting WRF simulations ...

Madden‐Julian Oscillation and Atmospheric Rivers: New Insights on Water Source and Transport for Extreme Rainfall Over the Western U.S.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Atmospheric rivers (ARs) were first documented by Zhu and Newell for transporting global water vapor. ARs contribute to extreme rainfall, especially over the Western United States. The primary water vapor source of ARs is from the tropical ocean, where convective systems bring the moist flux upward from the surface to the troposphere. Previous

Characterizing Landslide‐Induced Floods Using the SWOT Mission: A Case Study on the Chilcotin River, Canada

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Monitoring small rivers during extreme events is challenging, especially in remote areas. This study assesses the accuracy of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission in characterizing an extreme hydrological event on a narrow river (∼60 m wide), using a landslide‐induced flood on the Chilcotin River (Canada) as a case study.

Severity of Compound Precipitation and Temperature Extreme Events Over Africa at 1.5°C and 2°C Global Warming Levels

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 3, 15 March 2026.
Results indicate that, an increase in global warming level from 1.5°C to 2°C is likely to induce on the one hand a 3‐fold increase in the frequency of occurrence of dry and warm compound events, and on the other hand a 2‐fold increase in their duration, over West, Central, South‐West, and South‐East Africa, intensifying droughts through reduced ...

A Continental United States Climatology of Precipitation Whiplash Using a New Event‐Based Definition

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 3, 15 March 2026.
Precipitation whiplash events have been increasingly studied over the recent decade, however, no studies have considered the spatial coherence of grid points in their examination. Therefore, we developed an algorithm that defines spatially coherent precipitation whiplash events on the subseasonal‐to‐seasonal timescale between 1915 and 2020 which can be

Plant Robotics for Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly Robots: Insights from Actuation Characteristics

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 15, 13 March 2026.
Plants are promising materials for building sustainable and eco‐friendly robots due to their inherent multifunctionality, with actuation playing a crucial role. This article focuses on the physical movements of plants and, from the perspective of actuation characteristics, explores representative plant species and their behaviors, the current state of ...

Weakening of Western Disturbances in Response to Polar Sea Ice Melt in Climate Model Simulations

Atmospheric Science Letters, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
We investigate how polar sea ice loss influences western disturbances over South Asia using climate model experiments. The simulations reveal a robust weakening of western disturbance activity in response to Polar Sea ice melt. These results highlight a critical teleconnection pathway through which high‐latitude cryospheric changes may impact South ...
