Impact and Variability of Cloud Types on Earth's Top‐of‐Atmosphere Energy Balance in the Tropics: A 19‐Year Analysis of High‐Resolution CERES Data

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract Cloud radiative effects (CREs) play a critical role in Earth's energy balance and climate variability, yet the variability and specific contributions of distinct cloud types remain poorly understood. Using the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System FluxByCldTyp data set, this study investigates how temporal variations in total top‐of‐the‐

A Fast Analytical Model for the Complete Radial Structure of Tropical Cyclone Low‐Level Wind Field

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract A tropical cyclone (TC) can generally be divided into three regions: inner core with vigorous convection, intermediate region with intermittent convection, and far outer region with less convective activity. The different physics in these three regions suggest correspondingly different wind structure models. In this study, we combine the inner‐

The Influence of African Easterly Waves on Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Tracks and Landfall in Large Ensembles

open access: yesJournal 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.
