The Error is the Feature: how to Forecast Lightning using a Model Prediction Error

open access: yes, 2019
Despite the progress within the last decades, weather forecasting is still a challenging and computationally expensive task. Current satellite-based approaches to predict thunderstorms are usually based on the analysis of the observed brightness ...

Comparing Synoptic Pattern Evolution for Flash‐Flood‐Producing and Non‐Flash‐Flood‐Producing Mesoscale Convective Systems in the United States

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Understanding how the short‐term evolution of synoptic weather patterns influence Mesoscale Convective Systems (MCSs) is essential, as these systems are responsible for over half of central U.S. flash floods, leading to substantial socioeconomic and water resource management impacts. This study analyzes long‐term MCS data, flash flood reports,

Forecasting thunderstorm initiation in north‐west Europe using thermodynamic indices, satellite and radar data

open access: yesMeteorological Applications, 1994
A climatology of the occurrence of thunderstorms over north‐west Europe is described based upon an analysis of synoptic data, polar‐orbiting satellite infrared imagery and high‐resolution sferics data. The close relationship of thunderstorm initiation to

Investigations of simulated aircraft flight through thunderstorm outflows [PDF]

open access: yes
The effects of wind shear on aircraft flying through thunderstorm gust fronts were investigated. A computer program was developed to solve the two dimensional, nonlinear equations of aircraft motion, including wind shear.

Trend of North African Dust Storms and Potential Link to Climate Change

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Over recent decades, North African dust storms have undergone marked variability, reflecting complex interactions between regional climate processes and environmental change. Using four decades (1984–2023) of visibility‐based observational records, we examine regional and seasonal trends in dust storm frequency across the Sahel and the Sahara,

A Multi-Year Investigation of Thunderstorm Activity at Istanbul International Airport Using Atmospheric Stability Indices

open access: yesAtmosphere
Thunderstorms are weather phenomena that comprise thunder and lightning. They typically result in heavy precipitation, including rain, snow, and hail. Thunderstorms have adverse effects on flight at both the ground and the upper levels of the troposphere.

Contribution Quantification to Spring Low‐Level Jets Over the Western Bohai Sea Coast: Insights From Doppler LiDAR Observations, WRF Modeling and EOF Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Low‐level jets (LLJs), as dynamically significant narrow air currents in the lower troposphere, profoundly influence regional weather and anthropogenic activities. Motivated by persistent LLJs detected through Doppler LiDAR observations during March to April 2021, this study systematically characterizes these LLJs over Juehua Island (western ...

Urban landscapes as ecological filters: Insights from a Neotropical bird assemblage

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract To contribute to our growing understanding of the urban ecological filtering process in highly biodiverse regions, we conducted a study on bird species assemblages across the landscape of Medellín and its surrounding areas in the Colombian Andes.

Analysis of the climate characteristics and influence system of thunderstorms in Fuzhou in recent 59 years

open access: yes暴雨灾害, 2019
Based on thunderstorm data from 11 meteorological observation stations in Fuzhou and NCEP reanalysis data during the period of 1960-2018, the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics and variation trend of thunderstorms are analyzed by using ...
