Tracing Hailstone Development: Isotopic Evidence and Microphysical Variability in Texas Supercell Events

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Two supercell thunderstorms that occurred in Del Rio and Burkburnett, Texas in the spring of 2020 produced greater than 5 cm diameter hailstones. Fourteen hailstones, eight from Del Rio and six from Burkburnett, were cut in half along the maximum principal axis. Half the hailstone was dissected at 0.5 cm increments, providing 198 subsamples of

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

Modelling thunderstorm gusts for wind turbine design

, 2013
Thunderstorm gusts can be severe and inflict major damage to high buildings such as wind turbines. These gusts are caused by the downburst emanating from the thunderstorm cloud. In this research, thunderstorms are modelled for wind turbine design.

A Climatology of Coupled Tracks of Extratropical Cyclones and Mesoscale Convective Systems

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Weather in the midlatitudes is dominated by extratropical cyclones (ETCs) with horizontal length scales of roughly 1,000 km and mesoscale convective systems (MCSs), with horizontal length scales of roughly 100 km. This study investigates the multi‐scale interactions of these storms by comparing databases of Lagrangian tracks for both storm ...

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

Dynamic Versus Diabatic Controls on Atmospheric Variability in a Tropical Aquachannel

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Synoptic‐ to planetary‐scale atmospheric variability in the tropics is a potential source of predictability worldwide. However, current weather prediction models struggle to fully capture this variability. Here, we conduct tropical aquachannel simulations using the ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic model with horizontal grid spacings of 13 and 5 km ...

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.

Linkage Between Atmospheric Rivers and Overshooting Convection and Their Roles on UTLS Water Vapor During the North American Monsoon: Insight From DCOTSS

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Overshooting convection significantly impacts the composition of the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS), yet its linkage to Atmospheric Rivers (ARs) remains poorly understood. This study investigates how ARs modulate environmental conditions and moisture distribution associated with overshooting convection in the central and ...

Characteristics, weather scenario and statistics of thunderstorm outflows based on measured data

, 2020
Wind is the most destructive natural phenomenon: 70% of damage and death caused by nature in the world comes from wind. And extreme winds such as typhoons, tornadoes and thunderstorms are crucial for structural damage.

Differences in Lightning—Storm Microphysical Relationships in Subtropical South America Versus the Continental U.S. and Their Impact on Model Lightning Parameterizations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Satellite studies have shown that some of the deepest convection with high lightning flash rates occurs downstream of the Andes in subtropical South America (SSA). Using high resolution ground‐based observations in SSA, we explore the relationship between lightning and radar‐inferred storm microphysics.
