Processes driving thunderstorms over the Agulhas Current [PDF]
, 2013 [1] Lightning occurs predominantly over land and is not common over the open ocean. We study here one oceanic region in which thunderstorms are frequently found, namely the warm Agulhas Current off the southeast coast of South Africa.

Monte-Carlo-based simulation and investigation of 230 kV transmission lines outage due to lightning
High Voltage, 2019 Here, using the probabilistic evaluation based on the Monte Carlo method, back-flashover rate and shielding failure flashover rate of 230 kV overhead transmission lines in the western regions of Iran are evaluated.

Do the public take action when a severe snow warning is issued?
Weather, EarlyView.Extreme weather events pose significant risks to the population, making timely warnings essential for preparedness. The UK Met Office’s National Severe Weather Warning Service (NSWWS) has issued impact‐based alerts for over a decade, yet evaluations of their effectiveness remain limited.

A month's worth of rain in a day?
Weather, EarlyView.Phrases like ‘a month’s worth of rain in a day’ make for dramatic news headlines. But how often do such events occur? Are they more likely in certain locations or seasons? And can we expect more in the future? Here we examine these questions for the UK using observations and high‐resolution model simulations.

Assessment of Atmospheric Stability Indices for Thunderstorm Forecasting over Absheron Peninsula [PDF]
مجله فیزیک زمین و فضاThis study examines the application of various thunderstorm indices to predict the occurrence of thunderstorms over the Absheron Peninsula. By considering thermodynamic indices such as the K index, lifted index (LI), Showalter index (SI), Thompson index,

From scores to causality and confidence: operational acceptance of AI weather forecasts
Weather, EarlyView.This paper argues that the operational value of machine learning weather prediction (MLWP) cannot be assessed through verification skill alone. Instead, acceptance depends on support for the core functions of operational meteorology: understanding, translating and communicating. Current MLWP systems show strong performance but lack the interpretability,
