Analysis of the Relationship Between the Morphological Characteristics of Lightning Channels and Turbulent Dynamics Based on the Localization of VHF Radiation Sources

Geophysical Research Letters
Lightning channel morphology depends on the thunderstorm cloud charge structure, which in turn is influenced by the thunderstorm dynamics. In this paper, based on three‐dimensional radiation source localization data from the Lightning Mapping Array and ...

Thunderstorm-induced actions on tall buildings

Thunderstorm-downbursts are characterized by intense downdrafts that impact the Earth’s surface, generating strong radial outflows and ring vortices. Unlike synoptic wind events, downbursts exhibit distinct features, including a nose-shaped mean wind ...

Enhanced Occurrence of Springtime Extreme Precipitation Associated With Mesoscale Convective Systems Over the US by Baroclinic Annular Mode

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are powerful contributors to extreme precipitation, often resulting in flash floods. However, the extent to which these systems are influenced by natural modes of climate variability is still not fully understood.

Impact of Convective Intensity on Mixed‐Phase Evolution and Upper Positive Charge Region Formation in an Isolated Convective Cloud

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Lightning initiation depends on the charge separation within the mixed‐phase areas of convective clouds, where graupel, ice, and supercooled water interact. However, the specific mixed‐phase structures that enhance charge separation remain unclear.

The Role of Lightning in Atmospheric Chemistry

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Lightning has important effects on atmospheric constituents in primarily the middle and upper troposphere. We summarize the effects of lightning on atmospheric chemistry that have been published since the last major review in 2007. The estimates of NOx production by lightning (LNOx) are based on five methods: theoretical/laboratory estimates ...

Convection‐Permitting Projections of Low‐Level Jets and Mesoscale Convective Systems in South America

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Anthropogenic warming is expected to substantially modify the hydroclimate of South America, a region in which low‐level jets (LLJs) and mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are key components of moisture transport and precipitation. However, the responses of these systems to future climate change, including the relative roles of thermodynamic ...

An Integrated Process‐Based Approach for Interpreting Precipitation Isotopes Using North‐Central Texas as a Testbed

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract The isotopic composition of precipitation reflects the combined influences of moisture sources, rainout history, and convective intensity, but the relative importance of these controls varies among regions and remains poorly understood in continental settings.
