Thunderstorms over a tropical Indian station, Minicoy: Role of vertical wind shear [PDF]
, 2010 In this study, an attempt has been made to bring out the observational aspects of vertical wind shear in thunderstorms over Minicoy. Case studies of thunderstorm events have been examined to find out the effect of vertical wind shear and instability on ...

WIREs Forensic Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.Police drone technology could be utilized to support forensic scene investigations. If the challenges of implementing new technologies can be overcome, drones could improve operational efficiency, interpretation issues and add investigative value in the courtroom. ABSTRACT Unoccupied aerial systems (UAS; otherwise known as Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAV)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract Rainfall nowcasting, the short‐term prediction of precipitation, is a vital component of early warning systems aimed at mitigating the effects of extreme weather events. In this study, we develop a deep learning approach based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for rainfall nowcasting and train it exclusively on data from rain gauge ...

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Preparing for unprecedented natural hazard events is challenging because the lack of records and experience makes it impossible to know how such events will unfold. Repeated record‐breaking floods in central Europe have increased awareness of the need for proactive planning beyond observed extremes.

Wilson's Atmospheric Electron Accelerator: A Centennial Perspective
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract As of the time of writing this letter, we mark the centennial of Wilson's runaway electrons proposed in 1925. Owing to instrumentation limitations, Wilson and his students could not detect the particles anticipated by theory Chilingarian et al. (2025, https://doi.org/10.1029/2024jd042350).

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract The return stroke in a cloud‐to‐ground (CG) flash is initiated when the downward leader either reaches the ground or connects with an upward leader from a grounded structure. Unlike negative downward leaders, which typically propagate in a highly branched manner, downward positive leaders (DPLs) can propagate either in a branched or unbranched

Asynchronous Landslide Seasonality Across the United States
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract Mid‐range landslide outlooks can facilitate weather‐related landslide preparedness and disaster response planning, but seasonal landslide activity remains poorly quantified at continental scales. Leveraging >55,000 reported landslides from across the United States (U.S.), we used circular statistics to quantify landslide seasonality in 67 ...
