Error in ERA5 2‐m temperature identified using GraphCast

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We identify a recurrent error in ERA5 2‐m temperature over the Ethiopian Highlands that occurs predominantly at 0600 UTC on ≈7%$$ \approx 7\% $$ of dates. The artefact is caused by the 2D optimal‐interpolation scheme assimilating temporally displaced surface reports (e.g., 0900 UTC) into the 0600 UTC analysis.

Decadal‐scale drivers of South Pacific hydroclimate variability

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Using prescribed SST perturbations in the IGCM4 model, we investigate the mechanisms by which three major modes of low‐frequency climate variability—the IPO, AMV, and Southern Ocean SST‐driven midlatitude jet shifts—modulate the South Pacific hydroclimate.

Rossby Waves With Linear Topography In Barotropic Fluids

, 2008
Rossby waves are the most important waves in the atmosphere and ocean, and are parts of a large-scale system in fluid. The theory and observation show that, they satisfy quasi-geostrophic and quasi-static equilibrium approximations.

Recurrent Rossby waves

, 2022
Upper-level Rossby wave packets (RWPs) are one of the key drivers of surface weather. RWPs can lead to extreme surface weather events. However, extreme impacts can also arise from long spells of persistent weather. Recurrence of synoptic-scale RWPs, termed RRWPs, where RWPs recur in the same phase over a short period, can also lead to persistent ...

Assessment of subseasonal forecast skill of tropical–extratropical cloud bands over the four subtropical convergence zones

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study evaluates the subseasonal predictive skill of tropical–extratropical cloud bands across four subtropical convergence zones in ECMWF reforecasts (2003–2022). Results show that, while exact daily predictions are limited to one week, accounting for temporal displacement improves forecast skill significantly, revealing a systematic early onset ...

The Rossby radius in the Arctic Ocean [PDF]

, 2014
The first (and second) baroclinic deformation (or Rossby) radii are presented north of ~60° N, focusing on deep basins and shelf seas in the high Arctic Ocean, the Nordic seas, Baffin Bay, Hudson Bay and the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, derived from ...

Climate‐change‐amplified wind‐related economic losses during Cyclone Harry (2026)

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Cyclone Harry (January 2026) produced significant wind and rainfall impacts across southern Italy. Compared with 1950–1987, present conditions show warmer temperatures and stronger winds, increasing exposure. An estimated 72 million euros of damage are attributable to climate‐driven wind intensification. Abstract Cyclone Harry affected Sicily, Calabria,

Spontaneous zonal symmetry breaking of tropical rain belt

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Precipitable‐water snapshots show how a sea surface temperature (SST)‐forced tropical rain belt can remain zonally elongated or spontaneously reorganize into a localized convective cluster. The simulations identify the SST conditions favoring this zonal convective self‐aggregation and relate the transition to changes in boundary‐layer circulation and ...

Extreme rainfall in southern China in April 2024 and its potential link to weather events across south Asia

Weather, EarlyView.
This study documents the unseasonal and prolonged heavy rain events which occurred in southern China during April 2024. In this series of extreme rainfall events, Guangdong province recorded extreme rainfall exceeding 6‐sigma of climatology, with eleven cities reporting record‐breaking rainfall.

Rough Topography and Fast Baroclinic Rossby Waves

Geophysical Research Letters
Oceanographic observations have revealed that basin‐scale Rossby waves can travel at speeds systematically exceeding values predicted by linear theory based on the flat‐bottom approximation.
