A Model Intercomparison Study of Mixed‐Phase Clouds in a Laboratory Chamber

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Supercooled liquid water often persists in mixed‐phase clouds for hours to days, even though a simple, well‐mixed Wegener‐Bergeron‐Findeisen model predicts rapid depletion of liquid water in the presence of ice. The persistence is well documented, but the relative importance of the maintaining mechanisms remains uncertain.

The Coriolis Effects in Parameterization of Atmospheric Turbulence and Convection

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The Coriolis effect can deflect turbulent momentum flux and anisotropy of turbulent kinetic energy. This Coriolis turbulent deflection is usually omitted in parameterizations of atmospheric turbulence and convection. However, previous large‐eddy simulations (LES) found that the nontraditional Coriolis terms (NCTs) can enhance vertical velocity

High‐Resolution LiDAR Observations for Coupled Effects of Dry‐Air Entrainment and Haze‐Cloud Interactions on Cloud Vertical Structure

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract This study demonstrates the high‐resolution profiling of cloud microphysics in a laboratory chamber using Time‐Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) LiDAR. We present a novel retrieval method to derive vertical extinction (σ) $(\sigma )$ profiles, constrained by in situ measurements, to diagnose responses to dry‐air entrainment.

Physics‐Informed Machine Learning Framework to Retroactively Estimate Mantle Thermal Convection From Partial Geophysical Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Mantle convection drives the solid Earth, powering plate motions, volcanism, and earthquakes while regulating planetary heat loss. Reconstructing its history is hampered by sparse, noisy observations concentrated near the surface and the present day. Here I develop an inverse physics‐informed neural network framework to estimate mantle thermal

How Does Ice Shell Geometry Shape Ocean Dynamics on Icy Moons?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract A poleward‐thinning ice shell can drive circulation in the subsurface oceans of icy moons by imposing a meridional temperature gradient–colder at the equator than the pole–through the freezing point suppression due to pressure. This temperature gradient sets a buoyancy gradient, whose sign depends on the thermal expansion coefficient ...

On the Cell Broadening of Mesoscale Cellular Convection in a Well‐Mixed Boundary Layer

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Understanding what controls the horizontal scale of mesoscale cellular convection is central to explaining cloud self‐organization and its radiative impacts. Using a hierarchy of large‐eddy simulations, we investigate cell broadening in a well‐mixed boundary layer by isolating the roles of radiation, cloud microphysics, and water vapor.

Thermal Analysis of Phase Change Material Based Energy Storage Module With Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces

Energy Storage, Volume 8, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The thermal performance of two triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) thermal Energy Storage modules, Diamond and Primitive, was investigated using computational fluid dynamics. The melting and solidification behaviors, as well as the charging and discharging characteristics, of the TPMS Energy Storage units were studied for various flow rates.

Localized Convection in Sputnik Planitia, Pluto

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract The cellular plains on Sputnik Planitia (SP) are thought to originate from convection in the nitrogen ice layer that fills the basin. Whereas the cells toward the center of SP's cellular plains are wider and interconnected—features explained by vigorous convection—the cells near the margins are smaller and less contiguous, with some appearing ...

Tailoring Defective Tungsten Oxide Aerogel Evaporator for Enhanced Solar Steam Generation and Heavy Metal Adsorption Toward Agricultural Irrigation

Carbon Neutralization, Volume 5, Issue 3, May 2026.
A cost‐effective defective WO3−x@cellulose aerogel composites that simultaneously convert wastewater into agricultural irrigation water through solar‐driven freshwater generation and heavy metal remediation was proposed. And the precision defect engineering of oxygen‐vacancy modulated WO3−x nanocrystals demonstrate excellent solar absorption efficiency

Morphological Regimes of Rotating Moist Convection

The Astrophysical Journal
Moist convection is a physical process in planetary atmospheres where the latent heat released by condensation acts as a buoyancy source that can enhance or even trigger an overturning convective instability.
