Precipitation Microphysics Over the Headwaters of the Tarim River Basin: A Striking North‐South Contrast Revealed by a Decade of GPM/DPR Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The headwater regions of the Tarim River Basin (TRB), Asia's vital “water towers,” are critical for the ecological stability of arid Northwest China, yet a systematic understanding of their diverse precipitation microphysics remains elusive.

Multi‐Step Gravity Wave Propagation From a Tropospheric Vortex to the Ionosphere Near the Tibetan Plateau

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The atmosphere and ionosphere form a vertically coupled system in which disturbances in the lower atmosphere can modulate ionospheric variability. Using reanalysis data, ground‐based GNSS observations, and COSMIC‐2 profiles, we investigate gravity waves (GWs) generation and upward coupling during a southwest vortex (SWV) event over the Tibetan

Thunderstorm high-energy radiation measured in-flight

, 2017
High-Energy Atmospheric Physics is a newly emerging branch of physics actively developing at the edge of particle physics, optics, electrodynamics and engineering. Although the thundercloud generation process involves electrostatic charging, a multitude of very dynamic lightning-related discharge processes have been identified recently in and above ...

Three Generations of NARCliM: Evaluation of Precipitation, Temperature and Their Extremes Over the CORDEX Australasia Domain

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 7, 15 June 2026.
The NSW and Australian Regional Climate Modelling Version 2.0 (NARCliM2.0) builds on NARCliM1.0 and 1.5 to deliver improved regional climate simulations. This study provides the first comprehensive evaluation of NARCliM2.0 against its predecessors, assessing individual model skill in reproducing mean and extreme climate.

Characteristics and Trends in Short‐Duration Heavy Rain in Wet‐Season in Hong Kong

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 7, 15 June 2026.
This study examines the characteristics of heavy rain events (hourly rainfall ≥ 30 mm) in Hong Kong from 2000 to 2024. A statistically significant increasing trend in short‐duration (1–3 h) heavy rain events (3.4 events per decade) in the wet season is observed, primarily due to other mechanisms rather than surface troughs or tropical cyclones. Notably,

The Multiscale Non‐Gaussian Statistics of Free‐Running 1000‐Member General Circulation Model Ensembles

Atmospheric Science Letters, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study investigates the multiscale evolution of forecast distributions using 1000‐member global circulation model ensembles. Initially different distributions converge to the same time‐varying equilibrium distribution, and the equilibration time scale noticeably exceeds the variance saturation time. Prior to equilibration, the forecast distribution
