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

Evaluating Changes in Convective Environments Over Subtropical South America Under Forced and Natural Climate Variability

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Many regions worldwide, including Subtropical South America (SSA), face significant challenges from convective systems that produce severe weather. However, limited research exists on how these systems may change under future climate conditions.

Hailstorm Events Over a Maritime Tropical Region: Environmental Influences on Microphysics

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Building on a previous study showing that NetCAPE0C—formulated as CAPE calculated up to the 0° ${}^{\circ}$C isotherm, after subtracting CIN and correcting for water loading—is effective in predicting hail occurrence in maritime tropical (mT) environments, we examined the microphysics to understand why, particularly for ordinary pulse storms ...

Thunderstorm Detection and Prewarning via Multisource Fusion of Precipitation and Atmospheric Electric Field Features

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Traditional detection and prewarning methods based on a single atmospheric electric field (AEF) data source often fail to accurately assess thunderstorm weather conditions.

Peering into the heart of thunderstorm clouds: insights from cloud radar and spectral polarimetry [PDF]

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques
Lightning is a natural phenomenon that can be dangerous to humans. It is therefore challenging to study thunderstorm clouds using direct observations since it can be dangerous to fly into them. In this study, a cloud radar at 35 GHz with 45° elevation is

Spaceborne Far‐Infrared Signal Simulations Over the Antarctic Plateau With Temperature‐Dependent Ice Cloud Optical Properties

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Longwave cloud radiative effects significantly influence variability in global and regional Earth systems. However, there have been very few, if any, measurements of the far‐infrared (FIR) radiation over the polar regions, where about half of the outgoing longwave radiation is in the FIR spectrum. This motivated the Polar Radiant Energy in the

Thunderstorm-Associated Asthma or Shortness of Breath Epidemic: A Canadian Case Report

Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2002
Thunderstorm-associated asthma epidemics have been documented in the literature, but no Canadian experience has been reported. On July 31, 2000, a thunderstorm-associated epidemic of asthma or shortness of breath occurred in Calgary, Alberta. The Calgary

Fast Breakdowns Observed in the Initial Leaders of Two Energetic Compact Strokes

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract We have observed 1 fast positive breakdown (FPB) and 20 fast negative breakdowns (FNBs) for the first time in the initial leader of two energetic compact strokes (ECSs) using a broadband interferometer. It was found that the FPB propagated upward over a distance of 30 m with a speed of 1.2×107m/s $1.2\times {10}^{7}\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s ...

Cosmic Radiation Dose‐Rates for Civil Aviation in the Middle East: Vertical Structure, Solar Modulation, and Comparison With Models

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract High‐altitude balloon measurements were conducted over southern Israel (30°35′N, 34°45′E; 850 m a.s.l., geomagnetic rigidity cutoff 10.3 GV) to characterize the vertical profiles of atmospheric ionization and radiation up to ∼35 km. Six balloon launches between October 2014 and August 2016 recorded the variability of atmospheric ionization ...

Mediterranean Warming Amplified the Convective Environment During the December 13, 2024 Severe Thunderstorm at Rome–Fiumicino Airport

Atmospheric Science Letters, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
A conditional analogue analysis of a severe thunderstorm disrupting Rome–Fiumicino Airport shows that, while synoptic circulation patterns remain largely unchanged since 1979, the thermodynamic environment has significantly warmed. Increased air and sea surface temperatures are linked to higher convective instability, precipitation, and wind shear ...
