Analysis on the Spatio-temporal Characteristics for Different Types of Strong Winds over Yunnan

Gaoyuan qixiang
Based on multiple observations， 16778 strong winds with speed equal to or greater than 17 m·s-1 from 125 national meteorological stations over Yunnan from 2013 to 2021 are divided into 8 types： thermal low winds， thunderstorm winds， local winds， cold-air

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

, 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 ...

A Two‐Dimensional Deep Learning Scheme With One Predicator Only to Parametrize Global Lightning

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Lightning simulation has long posed significant challenges. This study presents a novel two‐dimensional artificial intelligence‐based global lightning scheme that uses a single predictor, convective available potential energy (CAPE). The new scheme significantly improves global lightning simulation performance, achieving a determination ...

Roles of Surface Latent Heat Flux and Gravity Waves in Offshore MCS Development in the Coastal Eastern Tropical Pacific

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract The eastern tropical Pacific (ETP) coastal region, one of the rainiest places on Earth, is characterized by distinct diurnal offshore rainfall propagation primarily driven by mesoscale convective systems (MCSs). Previous studies have shown that MCS initiation in this region peaks in the early morning, with diurnally generated gravity waves ...

Urban Land Surface Effects on Summertime Clouds and Moist Convection in Houston Under Different Synoptic Conditions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Urban landscapes modify cloud formation and convection through complex thermodynamic and aerodynamic processes; however, their influence under different synoptic regimes remains poorly understood. This study investigates the impact of the Houston metropolitan area on summertime cloud cover and convective cell characteristics using a ...

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

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 ...

Future Climate Projections of Hazardous Convective Weather Using an Ensemble of Environment‐Informed, Convection‐Permitting Dynamical Downscaling Simulations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Convection‐permitting dynamical downscaling (CPDD) allows for an explicit representation of the convective storms that generate tornadoes, hail, severe thunderstorm winds, and locally heavy precipitation. Possible changes in such hazardous convective weather (HCW) due to human‐induced climate change are therefore projected with higher ...

South American Mesoscale Convective Systems: Present and Future Climates

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) over South America in a future climate using two distinct modeling approaches: the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) regional model with dynamical downscaling and pseudoglobal warming, and the Nonhydrostatic Icosahedral Atmospheric Model (NICAM) global cloud‐resolving model ...
