Impact of fragmented urbanization on observed precipitation

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study investigates the impact of fragmented urban landscapes on downwind precipitation by applying an innovative observation‐centered approach to an extensive rain gauge network in Belgium. The approach classifies the observations based on the upwind urban land cover fraction, and compares precipitation indices between rural‐ and urban‐labeled ...

Structural changes in the interannual variability of extreme autumn precipitation in eastern Spain and the weakening of synoptic forcing

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Total autumn precipitation in eastern Spain remains stable between 1950 and 2024, masking a substantial internal redistribution between ordinary and extreme rainfall. While torrential precipitation (Rp95) increases and ordinary precipitation (Ro) decreases, the extreme contribution index (Cext) shows a significant positive trend and a structural shift ...

A new scale‐selective measure of curvature for meteorological fields

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We introduce a novel diagnostic called curvature using radial variation (CURV) that quantifies the local cyclonic or anticyclonic curvature of mean‐sea‐level pressure or geopotential height gridded fields over selected scales. A depiction of how CURV values relate to differing cyclonic curvature is shown in the figure.

Low‐order system for eddy growth in the storm track

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Reanalysis data for the North Atlantic storm track are used to construct a low‐order model that optimally fits the observed interaction between the mean flow and baroclinic eddies. The resulting model is a certain type of predator–prey model. It explains various properties of the storm track, including why eddies grow linearly with the Eady growth rate,

Enhancing severe convection forecasts with microwave radiance assimilation in limited‐area models

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Microwave satellite radiances remain largely underexploited in convection‐permitting limited‐area models. We assess the assimilation of humidity‐sensitive radiances from the MHS instrument in the operational ICON‐2I model, improving the precipitation forecast of a severe convective event over the Marche region, Italy, substantially by correcting ...
