A Unified Theory for the Global Thunderstorm Distribution and Land–Sea Contrast
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.Abstract This article evaluates Entraining CAPE (ECAPE) as a thunderstorm proxy in climate studies using Global Precipitation Measurement satellite observations. ECAPE modifies traditional CAPE to account for the dependence of entrainment on the vertical wind shear, the lifted condensation level (LCL) height, and the properties of a cloud's surrounding

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.Abstract This study uses a convection‐permitting model simulation to describe the environmental conditions under which convective upscale growth occurs in central Argentina, particularly examining environmental parameters when deep convection initially forms that could differentiate the rate of initial upscale growth.

Numeric and fluid dynamic representation of tornadic double vortex thunderstorms [PDF]
Current understanding of a double vortex thunderstorm involves a pair of contra-rotating vortices that exists in the dynamic updraft. The pair is believed to be a result of a blocking effect which occurs when a cylindrical thermal updraft of a ...

Solar modulation of atmospheric electrification through variation of the conductivity over thunderstorms [PDF]
It is suggested that variations of the current in the global atmospheric electrical circuit can be produced through regulation of the resistance between the tops of thunderclouds and the ionosphere.
