Clustered Land Restoration Projects Increase Cloud Formation in West African Drylands
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.Abstract Land restoration projects are implemented across Africa to combat land degradation and climate change. By changing the vegetation cover, these projects can potentially impact cloud formation through changes in energy and water partitioning between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere.

A Unified Theory for the Global Thunderstorm Distribution and Land–Sea Contrast
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.Abstract This article evaluates Entraining CAPE (ECAPE) as a thunderstorm proxy in climate studies using Global Precipitation Measurement satellite observations. ECAPE modifies traditional CAPE to account for the dependence of entrainment on the vertical wind shear, the lifted condensation level (LCL) height, and the properties of a cloud's surrounding

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.Abstract African easterly waves (AEWs) are an important precursor or “seed” for Atlantic tropical cyclones (TCs), with 60%–80% of major hurricanes observed to originate from AEWs. However, climate model simulations indicate that AEWs are not necessary to maintain annual Atlantic TC frequency.
