Modeling Wind‐Driven Waves on Other Planets: Applications to Mars, Titan, and Exoplanets

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Waves could exist on any planet with sustained winds and stable surface liquids. However, differences in atmospheres, liquids, and gravity confound efforts to extend Earth‐based empirical wave models to other planetary environments. We adapted a physics‐based numerical wave model to study how planetary conditions affect the growth of waves. We

Micrometeorological processes driving snow ablation in an Alpine catchment [PDF]

, 2011
Mountain snow covers typically become patchy over the course of a melting season. The snow pattern during melt is mainly governed by the end of winter snow depth distribution and the local energy balance.

Intelligent Shanghai Typhoon Model (ISTM): A Diffusion‐Based Downscaling Emulator From AIFS to Kilometer‐Scale Regional Reanalysis for Typhoon Forecasts

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Artificial‐intelligence weather prediction models have recently surpassed numerical models in large‐scale skill, but they still systematically underestimate typhoon intensity due to their reliance on coarse‐resolution training data from ERA5. To overcome this limitation, we constructed a bespoke 9‐km high‐resolution typhoon reanalysis (HiRes ...

Estimating Turbulence Due to Low-Level Wind Shear in Airport Runway Zones Using TabNet-SHAP Framework

IEEE Access
In this research, we present an advanced predictive framework designed to assess the turbulence induced by low-level wind shear near the runways at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA), utilizing data from Pilot Reports (PIREP).

Foehn warming distributions in nonlinear and linear flow regimes: a focus on the Antarctic Peninsula [PDF]

, 2014
The structure of lee-side warming during foehn events is investigated as a function of cross-barrier flow regime linearity. Two contrasting cases of westerly flow over the Antarctic Peninsula (AP) are considered – one highly nonlinear, the other ...

Development of a Mesoscale‐ and Tide‐Resolving Ocean–Biogeochemistry Model for the Pacific: Tidal Enhancement of the Biological Carbon Pump

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract This study presents a new physical‐biogeochemical simulation of the Pacific Ocean that resolves mesoscale dynamics and explicitly includes tidal forcing. The primary objective is to develop and document a modeling framework that serves both as a detailed record of model configuration and forcing preparation, and as a reference for future ...

Entwined economies of violence: understanding borderland conflict and resource politics in northern Kenya

Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract This article explores longstanding conflict between Turkana and Pokot pastoralist communities in northern Kenya, close to the country's border with Uganda. Conflict in this region has consistently defied interventions by both governments and development organisations.

Changing Aerodynamic Roughness in WRF Reduces Bias and Improves Accuracy in Near‐Surface Wind Simulations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Accurate simulation of near‐surface wind speed is crucial for applications in renewable energy, dust emission, and air quality modeling. However, the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model systematically over‐estimates 10 m wind speed due to simplified representations of surface roughness and momentum exchange.
