Effects of off‐highway vehicle activity on Arizona wildlife: a systematic literature review

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.
The published literature indicates that off‐highway vehicles (OHVs) predominantly negatively affect native Arizona amphibians, mammals, and reptiles, while effects of OHVs on native Arizona birds are mostly unknown or neutral. Abstract Off‐highway vehicle (OHV) recreation has dramatically increased in Arizona, USA, prompting concerns about potential ...

Uncertainty of SYNOP Cloud Classifications by Human Observers

Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Operational cloud classification is subjective to some extent and should not be used without quality control for example, to train automatized methods. Inter‐observer agreement depends on the sky conditions, the nature of the observation (image‐based or on‐site), the framework under which it is conducted (sky snippets for gold standard atlases vs ...

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 ...

Situational Awareness about Thunderstorms On-board an Aircraft [PDF]

, 2012
Thunderstorms are top-ranked by pilots as weather situations compromising the flight safety. The information for pilots about adverse weather like thunderstorms today is, if at all, based on significant weather charts. Such services, however, do not give

Public perceptions of anthropogenic and natural sounds: Disparities in soundscapes and corresponding sense of place

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 9, Page 2986-3002, September 2026.
Abstract Noise pollution is an environmental stressor negatively affecting humans and biodiversity. Noise pollution is often measured and regulated according to loudness, but in this study, we assessed noise pollution based on human perceptions of soundscapes.

Thunderstorm Strike Probability Nowcasting

, 2009
To assist in thunderstorm warning, automated nowcasting systems have been developed that detect thunderstorm cells in radar images and propagate them forward in time to generate forecasted threat areas.

Reassessing sixteenth and seventeenth century written accounts of hurricanes in the North Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea

Weather, Volume 81, Issue 9, Page 298-305, September 2026.
Abstract While the North Atlantic’s five‐century hurricane history is among the most complete globally, the earliest centuries are poorly documented in the written record. This study reassesses a subset of sixteenth to seventeenth‐century tropical cyclones (TCs) through a systematic review of archival evidence, mainly from Spain’s colonial archive, the

Analysis of lightning activity characteristics and its relationship with precipitation in a strong convective weather process in Jiangsu Province

Frontiers in Environmental Science
Based on multi-source observation data such as lightning locator, atmospheric electric field instrument and hourly precipitation data from automatic stations, the lightning characteristics of the strong convective weather process under the influence of ...

Detecting Thunderstorm‐Related High‐Energy Phenomena in Weak Signals

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres
Abstract Gamma‐ray glows (GRGs) are high‐energy events associated with thunderstorms, characterized by an enhancement of the high‐energy background radiation lasting from a few seconds to several minutes. They are typically detected near their sources by balloons, aircraft, mountain‐based observatories, or at sea level in regions ...

How weather got its words: a history of meteorological English – Part 1: Old English to the Age of Discovery

Weather, Volume 81, Issue 9, Page 306-311, September 2026.
The English language is a gargantuan, gluttonous beast. It has become extraordinary among its peers in its powers of assimilation – such that we rarely consider the diverse origins of the words we use. In this two‐part paper, we will explore these origins, including the Pontic‐Caspian steppe, the British Empire, latinophone scientists and a TV show. We
