The Role of Lightning in Atmospheric Chemistry

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Lightning has important effects on atmospheric constituents in primarily the middle and upper troposphere. We summarize the effects of lightning on atmospheric chemistry that have been published since the last major review in 2007. The estimates of NOx production by lightning (LNOx) are based on five methods: theoretical/laboratory estimates ...

NOx and HCHO in Hot Extremes Observed From Space and Their Influences on Urban Populations: A Case Study in Houston, TX (USA)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Hot extremes have increased globally and on a regional scale. Traditional data processing methods to understand air quality changes in hot extremes may not adequately describe variations in directly emitted air pollutants like nitrogen oxides (NOx) or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and their influence on secondary species such as ozone (O3).

Stratospheric Impacts on Weather Regimes Following the 2018 and 2019 Sudden Stratospheric Warmings

Geophysical Research Letters
Major disruptions of the stratospheric polar vortex can improve subseasonal forecast skill for surface climate, as negative North Atlantic Oscillation‐like (NAO−) states can follow sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs).

Model Sensitivities of Biomass‐Burning Aerosol Chemical Aging, Sulfate Formation, and Cloud Droplet Activation in the Southeastern Atlantic Using CESM and E3SM

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Biomass‐burning smoke drives large uncertainty in climate projections of the Earth's radiative balance. This is due to the chemical and physical evolution of smoke and its impact on clouds and radiation. Here we focus on the southeastern Atlantic region and its inflow of African biomass‐burning smoke during August 2017.

Externally‐Forced Changes to Southern Hemisphere Stratosphere‐Troposphere Coupling Variability

Earth's Future
Stratosphere‐troposphere coupling (STC) in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) occurs primarily from austral spring to summer, and the dominant mode of variability in this vertical coupling (the “STC mode”) represents the timing of the seasonal transition of ...

A GEO‐LEO Imager Data Set for Characterizing Rapid Changes of Global Aerosol Properties

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Aerosols, the ubiquitous small particulates in our atmosphere, have climate, air quality, and/or other impacts far from their original sources. The Dark Target Algorithm (DTA), originally developed for retrieving aerosol properties from satellite imagers in Low‐Earth Orbit (LEO), has been ported to imagers in Geostationary (GEO) orbit. Using a

Volcanic Eruptions Reorganize Climate Teleconnections: Detection via Riemannian Covariance Fingerprinting

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Standard detection and attribution of volcanic forcing targets spatial temperature anomalies. We show that the covariance structure of climate variability carries an independent volcanic fingerprint. Applying tangent‐space regression on the symmetric positive definite manifold SPD(8) to 40 years of eight teleconnection indices, we detect ...

Structure, Propagation and Variability of the 5‐Day Rossby‐Haurwitz Wave

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract The 5‐day wave is the gravest free Rossby mode predicted by the Laplace shallow water equations, with a latitudinally symmetric, zonal wavenumber one theoretical structure in geopotential extending from pole to pole. It propagates westward along the equator at about 98 m s−1 ${\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$ and was first observed in surface pressure data ...

Agricultural Emissions of Reactive Nitrogen Gases From Constrained Simulations Using the Community Land Model

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Reactive nitrogen (Nr) gases (NH3, N2O, and NO) emitted from agricultural fields constitute a substantial portion of the Nr flux from land to the atmosphere. Here, we coupled the Flows of Agricultural Nitrogen (FANv3) with a modified version of the Community Land Model (CLM5.1) to produce a model (CLM‐FANv3) that simulates the emissions of NH3,

The Predictability of the Downward Versus Non‐Downward Propagation of Sudden Stratospheric Warmings in S2S Hindcasts

Geophysical Research Letters
Roughly one‐third of sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) events lack a strong canonical surface response, and this can lead to a forecast bust if a strong response was predicted.
