Climatic Higher‐Order Balanced Winds Beyond Geostrophic and Gradient Wind Fields

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract We present a novel approach to derive three‐dimensional Climatic Higher‐Order Balanced (CHOB) wind fields from thermodynamic state variables in the free troposphere and stratosphere. The CHOB method is developed for monthly synoptic‐scale wind field estimation, utilizing commonly used balanced winds (geostrophic and gradient wind) enhanced by ...

Antarctic planetary wave spectrum under different polar vortex conditions in 2019 and 2020 based on total ozone column data

Український антарктичний журнал, 2022
We examine the zonal wavenumber spectrum of planetary (Rossby) waves in the atmosphere above Antarctica in each of two contrasting years: in 2019, when there was a sudden stratospheric warming (SSW), and in 2020 when the Antarctic stratospheric vortex ...

Surface impacts of Sudden Stratospheric Warmings (SSWs): Comparison of 2018 and 2019 SSWs in SNAPSI experiments

Abstract. Stratospheric Sudden Warmings (SSWs) significantly affect surface climate in boreal winter. However, their impacts vary considerably from one event to another: more than one-third of SSWs are not followed by expected tropospheric anomalies. To isolate the forced responses to SSWs, this study analyzes model experiments from the Stratospheric ...

Drivers of Mid‐Latitude Quiet‐Time Longitude Variations in Ionospheric Density

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The aim of this study is to provide an observational benchmark of mid‐latitude quiet‐time variability in winds, O/N2, and TEC across longitude and local time to provide a foundation for future model–data comparison studies. The quiet‐time ionospheric structure is not uniform but rather exhibits pronounced longitudinal and local‐time ...

Decadal Changes in Wintertime Frequency of Stratospheric Northern Annular Mode Events With Downward Propagation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract The surface climate impact of stratospheric polar vortex anomalies depends on their downward propagation (DP) into the troposphere. We find pronounced decadal variability in the winter frequency of stratospheric Northern Annular Mode (SNAM) events that exhibit DP (1951–2024).

Seasonal Predictions and Their Applications in the Mediterranean Region: Part I—Sources of Predictability and Prediction Skill

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 5, April 2026.
The ability to predict climate fluctuations at seasonal timescales offers significant socio‐economic benefits. However, limited understanding of predictability mechanisms and model errors hinders forecast quality. Recent research has improved forecasting systems and data quality.

Windows of opportunity in subseasonal weather regime forecasting: A statistical–dynamical approach

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 152, Issue 776, April 2026 Part A.
This study explores how the atmospheric state at initialisation creates windows of opportunity for improving week 3 forecasts of weather regime activity. Greenland blocking activity increases following Madden–Julian Oscillation phases 7, 8, and 1 and weak stratospheric polar vortex states, revealing patterns exploitable by statistical models.

Observation of vertical coupling during a major sudden stratospheric warming by ICON and GOLD: a case study of the 2020/2021 warming event

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
The response of the thermospheric daytime longitudinally averaged zonal and meridional winds and neutral temperature to the 2020/2021 major sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) is studied at low-to middle latitudes (0◦ - 40◦N) using observations by NASA’s ...

Assessing the impact of model biases on subseasonal forecast skill

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 152, Issue 776, April 2026 Part A.
Relaxation experiments where the nudging was performed towards bias‐corrected integrations of the same model display significantly improved skill at weeks 3 and 4, particularly in the northern extratropics. This indicates that there is a large potential for improving dynamical subseasonal forecasting skill by improved treatment of model biases.

Satellite Reentry Predictions During Sudden Stratospheric Warmings

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Prediction of uncontrolled satellite reentry time and trajectory are essential to avoid damages to human being and properties over land. Reentry time and trajectory are largely controlled by aerodynamic drag and mass neutral density below 200 km.
