Assessment of the impacts of Super Typhoon Saola and the record-breaking rainstorm due to the remnant of Severe Typhoon Haikui on Hong Kong in September 2023

Tropical Cyclone Research and Review
In early September 2023, Hong Kong was severely impacted by the ferocious strike of Super Typhoon Saola on 1–2 September and the phenomenal rainstorm on 7–8 September triggered by the remnant of TC Haikui. Given the rarity of these two successive extreme

Forgetting and Remembering: Kenneth Cumberland and Soil Erosion in New Zealand, 1940s to 2020s

Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 1, March 2026.
The speed and scale of landscape transformation in New Zealand was almost immediately apparent to British geographer Kenneth Cumberland on his appointment to Canterbury University College in 1938. His efforts culminated in the nationally and internationally well‐regarded book ‘Soil Erosion in New Zealand: A Geographical Reconnaissance (1944a)’, which ...

Slant-path attenuation through rainstorms

Electronics Letters, 1977
Using a model of intense convective rain cells based on observations in the UK, calculations of attenuation on slant satellite broadcasting paths may be made. The results, are considered as useful in planning studies. Examples are given for paths passing directly through the storm centre and to one side of it.

Diagnostic Evaluation of Spread–Skill Relationships for Convection‐Permitting Ensemble Prediction System

Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
This study evaluates the spread–skill relationships of the CMA‐CPEPS using multidimensional diagnostics from January to June 2025, revealing under‐dispersion in most variables except 500‐hPa geopotential height and weaker spread‐skill relationships for temperature and near‐surface variables.

Floodplain Conservation Versus Landscape Development—How to Tackle the Multifunctional Management Issue

WIREs Water, Volume 13, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
The ability to perform a number of ecosystem functions is degraded by the inappropriate damming of agricultural floodplains (by levee construction) or by the continuous urban expansion, where flood protection is justified but at the cost of affecting the environmental stability of the wider landscape.

Machine Learning Emulation of Precipitation From km‐Scale UK Regional Climate Simulations Using a Diffusion Model

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract High‐resolution climate simulations are valuable for understanding climate change impacts. This has motivated use of regional convection‐permitting climate models (CPMs), but these are very computationally expensive. We present a convection‐permitting model generative emulator (CPMGEM), to skilfully emulate precipitation simulations by a 2.2 ...
