Characterization of synoptic environment for mesoscale convective systems over South Korea using ERA5 reanalysis data

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
In this study, the synoptic conditions for modes of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) in South Korea are generalized based on composite analysis. The preferred precipitation region, synoptic patterns, moisture transport, sea surface temperature and thermodynamic and dynamic instabilities are characterized according to four modes: convective cells (CC)

State of China's climate in 2018

Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters, 2019
In 2018, the mean temperature in China was 0.54°C above normal, and the annual rainfall was 7% above normal. More typhoons made landfall with severe damage. Low-temperature freezing and snow disasters occurred frequently with extensive losses. In summer,

A climatology of potential severe convective environments across South Africa

, 2016
Severe thunderstorms pose a considerable risk to society and the economy of South Africa during the austral summer months (October–March). Yet, the frequency and distribution of such severe storms is poorly understood, which partly stems out of an ...

Entraining CAPE and a simplified instability index for better assessment of environmental conditions of quasi‐stationary linear precipitation systems

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Quasi‐stationary linear precipitation systems (QSLPSs) are a major cause of heavy rainfall in Japan, persisting over the same region for more than five hours. This study demonstrates that entraining convective available potential energy (E‐CAPE), which accounts for environmental air entrainment during parcel ascent, more accurately characterises the ...

Recurving tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific are stronger than non‐recurving ones: Causes and implications

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study investigates the statistical characteristics of recurving tropical cyclones (TCs) over the western North Pacific (WNP). We find that recurving TCs are, on average, 38% stronger than non‐recurving TCs, owing to longer ocean exposure, fewer landfalls, and passage through warmer, more favorable thermal environments.

Synoptic situations of severe local convective storms during the pre-monsoon season in Bangladesh

, 2012
This study examines synoptic situations of severe local convective storms (mesoscale severe weather associated with deep convections such as tornado and hail) during the pre-monsoon season (from March to May) in Bangladesh.

GOES-16 GLM and ABI characteristics of severe and convective storms. [PDF]

, 2020
The recent deployment of the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) on board the GOES-R series of satellites provides a new perspective of total lightning production for the severe convective storms research and operational communities.

Strategies for Assessing Post‐Wildfire Geomorphic Resilience in Semiarid Rivers

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We review and summarize diverse components of a catchment that can be monitored after wildfire to assess the geomorphic resilience of the river corridor in semiarid regions. We distinguish upland portions of river catchments from river corridors.

Analysis of convective cell evolution with split and merge events using a graph-based methodology [PDF]

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques
Convective storms are associated with several hazards, including heavy rainfall, hail, and lightning, which pose severe risks to society. While the nowcasting (i.e., short-term forecasting from 5 min to 6 h) of storm locations has been extensively ...

Cyclone Ditwah (2025): moderate‐intensity tropical cyclone brings record flooding and damage to Sri Lanka

Weather, EarlyView.
Cyclone Ditwah (2025) made landfall in Sri Lanka as a tropical cyclone with only moderate intensity winds (~65–75kmh−1). Yet, its prolonged heavy rainfall also led to landslides and widespread flooding across Sri Lanka and the southern Indian states, with the combined effects of hazards causing impacts totalling 4.1 billion USD. Ditwah is, therefore, a
