Enhanced Assessment of Offshore Wind Resources for the Southeastern Coastal Region of China Using 4‐km WRF Modeling

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Offshore wind energy development in China's coastal regions represents a critical pathway toward achieving carbon neutrality goals, yet accurate resource assessment remains challenging due to complex marine meteorological conditions. This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of offshore wind resources in Fujian Province using convection ...

Amending the algorithm of aerosol–radiation interactions in WRF-Chem (v4.4) [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development
WRF-Chem (Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry) is widely used to assess regional aerosol radiative feedback. However, in the current version, aerosol optical properties are only calculated in four shortwave bands, while only two

A Simplified Higher Order Closure + Mass Flux Boundary‐Layer Parameterization in the Goddard Earth Observing System

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Boundary‐layer turbulence and clouds play an essential role in regulating surface fluxes and the Earth's radiative balance, but their parameterization in global models remains a significant source of uncertainty. This paper describes a novel implementation of the Simplified Higher Order Closure (SHOC) coupled with a multi‐plume eddy ...

The LASSO‐CACTI Library of Deep Convection Simulations for Córdoba, Argentina: Overview of Mesoscale and Large‐Eddy Simulations

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) User Facility recently released ensembles of high‐resolution atmospheric simulations of deep convection to complement ARM's measurements. These simulations are from the Large‐Eddy Simulation (LES) ARM Symbiotic Simulation and Observation (LASSO) activity and are for 20 case ...

A Framework for Modeling Aerosol‐Cloud‐Lightning Interactions: Validation of Charge Structure and Aerosol Effects

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract This study develops a novel framework within the Weather Research and Forecast Model for modeling aerosol‐cloud‐lightning interactions. The framework explicitly represent aerosol‐cloud interactions by prescribing aerosols with two configurations: an idealized setup, where both cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice nucleating particles (IN ...

Is the cloud absorption of solar radiation still underestimated notably by current model-based reanalyses?

Advances in Climate Change Research
Cloud absorption of solar radiation strongly influences Earth’s radiation balance and climate change. Whether numerical models underestimate this absorption compared with observations has long been a highly debated issue in cloud–radiation research ...

Solar Irradiance Prediction over the Aegean Sea: Shortwave Parameterization Schemes and Aerosol Radiation Feedback

, 2018
In order to study the solar irradiance’s prediction over Greece, WRF-Chem model is applied, using three shortwave radiation parameterization schemes: Dudhia, Goddard and RRTMG which simulate differently the aerosol-radiation interaction.
