Earth and Space Science, 2020 Thunderstorm identification from weather radar data remains a fundamental problem in lightning nowcasting. In this study, a novel thunderstorm identification method combining the area of graupel distribution region and weather radar reflectivity is ...

CFD and experimental modelling of an impinging jet for thunderstorm downburst simulation [PDF]
, 2006 A thunderstorm downburst in its simplest form can be modelled as a steady flow impinging air jet. Although this simplification neglects some important atmospheric and physical parameters it has proven to be a useful tool for understanding the kinematics ...

Disasters, Dictators, and Donors: The Impact of Foreign Aid on Economic Activity (Mis)Reporting
Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines how governments manipulate economic data to secure more foreign disaster aid. By using nighttime lighting as a reliable measure of economic activity, we make two key findings: (1) foreign disaster aid is positively linked to a country's understatement of its gross domestic product, indicating a deliberate strategy to ...

Thunderstorm Strike Probability Nowcasting, a New Algorithm [PDF]
, 2008 Thunderstorm nowcasting is an important function for the severe weather forecaster. The usual method is for radar to detect thunderstorms, and for downstream systems to generate ’threat areas’ for issuing warnings.

Beyond the war: Essays on loss, resilience and Hope. Introduction to a “Ukrainian section”
Anthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 2, December 2026.Abstract This short essay examines epistemic injustice within contemporary hierarchies of knowledge, and it argues for more insightful, sensuous, and grassroots forms of knowledge production “from the edges” to shine a light on the persistent inequality between ways of knowing and ways of (de)valuing different epistemologies.

Thunderstorms and thunderstorm precipitations in southern Poland [PDF]
Environmental & Socio-economic Studies, 2014 Abstract This paper addresses spatial and temporal variability in the occurrence of thunderstorms and related precipitation in southern Poland between 1951 and 2010. The analysis was based on thunderstorm observations and daily precipitation totals (broken down into the few ranges) from 15 meteorological stations.

Stochastic thunderstorm model for dynamic response assessment
, 2007 Thunderstorm winds have been known to be highly non-stationary as compared to other large scale winds like monsoons. The highly localized nature of these winds generates ferocious winds at low to mid-height, deviating from the boundary layer wind profile

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.Abstract Global kilometer‐scale model simulations have demonstrated clear benefits from refining horizontal resolution in representing mesoscale weather phenomena, yet the role of vertical resolution remains comparatively underexplored. To address this gap, 40‐day experiments with the model for prediction across scales systematically varied both ...
