A Copula‐Based Regression Method to Predict Sediment Concentration and Load in Rivers Using Streamflow Data

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Pollution and deposition of sediments in rivers and streams are critical environmental, ecological, navigational, and recreational concerns. While several well‐known watershed models such as SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) and HSPF (Hydrological Simulation Program‐FORTRAN) are applied to predict sediment concentrations and loads in ...

A Framework for Modeling Aerosol‐Cloud‐Lightning Interactions: Validation of Charge Structure and Aerosol Effects

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract This study develops a novel framework within the Weather Research and Forecast Model for modeling aerosol‐cloud‐lightning interactions. The framework explicitly represent aerosol‐cloud interactions by prescribing aerosols with two configurations: an idealized setup, where both cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice nucleating particles (IN ...

Enhanced Occurrence of Springtime Extreme Precipitation Associated With Mesoscale Convective Systems Over the US by Baroclinic Annular Mode

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are powerful contributors to extreme precipitation, often resulting in flash floods. However, the extent to which these systems are influenced by natural modes of climate variability is still not fully understood.

Thunderstorms: Thermodynamics and Organization

, 2012
Thunderstorm research is strongly motivated by the wish to reduce the harm they do to people and their property. Thunderstorms are a global phenomenon, although some areas in the mid-latitudes and tropics are particularly at risk.

Impact of Convective Intensity on Mixed‐Phase Evolution and Upper Positive Charge Region Formation in an Isolated Convective Cloud

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Lightning initiation depends on the charge separation within the mixed‐phase areas of convective clouds, where graupel, ice, and supercooled water interact. However, the specific mixed‐phase structures that enhance charge separation remain unclear.

The Role of Lightning in Atmospheric Chemistry

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Lightning has important effects on atmospheric constituents in primarily the middle and upper troposphere. We summarize the effects of lightning on atmospheric chemistry that have been published since the last major review in 2007. The estimates of NOx production by lightning (LNOx) are based on five methods: theoretical/laboratory estimates ...

Convection‐Permitting Projections of Low‐Level Jets and Mesoscale Convective Systems in South America

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Anthropogenic warming is expected to substantially modify the hydroclimate of South America, a region in which low‐level jets (LLJs) and mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are key components of moisture transport and precipitation. However, the responses of these systems to future climate change, including the relative roles of thermodynamic ...

An Integrated Process‐Based Approach for Interpreting Precipitation Isotopes Using North‐Central Texas as a Testbed

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract The isotopic composition of precipitation reflects the combined influences of moisture sources, rainout history, and convective intensity, but the relative importance of these controls varies among regions and remains poorly understood in continental settings.

A Deep Learning Model of Lightning Stroke Density

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Lightning plays a crucial role in the Earth's climate system; however, existing parameterizations for use in forecasting and earth system models show room for improvement in capturing spatial and temporal variations in its frequency. This study develops deep learning‐based parameterizations of lightning stroke density using meteorological ...
