Radar Echo Characteristics and Recognition of Warm-sector Torrential Rain in Sichuan Basin

open access: yes应用气象学报, 2020
Based on data of real-time precipitation and weather radar during 28 torrential rain events in warm regions of Sichuan Basin, radar echo characteristics of torrential rain in early and mature stages are analyzed. Feature vectors for identifying early and

Numeric and fluid dynamic representation of tornadic double vortex thunderstorms [PDF]

open access: yes
Current understanding of a double vortex thunderstorm involves a pair of contra-rotating vortices that exists in the dynamic updraft. The pair is believed to be a result of a blocking effect which occurs when a cylindrical thermal updraft of a ...

The Bayesian sinking in Porticello: a predictable convective windstorm?

open access: yesWeather, EarlyView.
The meteorological phenomenon that led to the Bayesian yacht sinking in Sicily at 0206 utc on 19 August 2024 is here investigated. A thunderstorm occurred during the sinking, but uncertainties exist regarding whether a waterspout or a downburst affected the ship. An in‐depth analysis of available observations highlighted that the ship was likely struck

Record‐breaking May heat in the UK: contrasting the extreme temperatures of 2024 and 1944 using climate attribution

open access: yesWeather, EarlyView.
This study quantifies the likelihood of May temperature extremes in present, natural (climatology based on pre‐industrial forcings) and future climates. The attribution applies in the context of a May heatwave comparable to the record‐breaking 1944 event and the persistent record‐breaking monthly‐mean temperature from 2024.
