Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.Abstract Deep convective clouds regulate Earth's energy and moisture budgets, yet their impact on the atmospheric boundary layer (BL) composition remains underexplored. Using long‐term observations from three mid‐latitude sites, we show that deep convection (DC) consistently enhances nighttime surface ozone and is often accompanied by modest increases ...

Corona Discharges Glow on Trees Under Thunderstorms
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.Abstract Coronae, which are weak electrical discharges, have long been hypothesized to form on trees under thunderstorms, though never directly observed, characterized, or quantified. Using a newly developed instrument that measures ultraviolet emissions from coronae, the first direct observations and quantifications of coronae are presented for two ...

Assessment of climatic extremes over Northeast and West Coast regions of India
Geoadria, 2015 Extreme weather and climate variability have become a subject of big concern worldwide. In response, efforts have been made to evaluate the trends in climatic parameters in two geographical regions of India – Northeast (NER) and West coast region (WCR ...

Observations and Modeling of the Longest‐Recorded Delayed Sprite
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.Abstract Transient luminous events (TLEs), such as sprites, have been investigated via observations and simulations for decades. Recent TLE research has focused on effects leading to the delay of a sprite from its parent lightning flash. Here we investigate a sprite with by far the longest recorded delay to date, a delay of almost a full second (916.6 ±

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.

Characterizing Australian Solar Resource Variability and Solar Droughts With Himawari‐8/9
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.Abstract Solar energy is central to decarbonization and national energy plans, yet its deployment is limited by gaps in understanding how solar irradiance varies in space and time. We present the first continent‐scale, sub‐daily analysis of solar resource variability using Himawari‐8/9 satellite data for Australia's renewable energy zones.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.Abstract Rawinsonde measurements from Central Europe were evaluated to investigate environments associated with lightning. The study compared lightning and non‐lightning profiles, pre‐ and post‐convective profiles, and varying lightning flash rates. In total, 137,501 quality‐controlled measurements from 2006 to 2018 were used, along with 327 convective

A study of point discharge current observations in the thunderstorm environment at a tropical station during the year 1987 and 1988 [PDF]
The results of the measurements of point discharge current observations at Pune, India, during years 1987 and 1988 are presented by categorizing and studying their number of spells, polar current average durations, and current magnitudes in day-time and ...

On the Beam Characteristics of X‐Ray Bursts Observed in Rocket‐Triggered Lightning
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.Abstract Employing the multi‐station Thunderstorm Energetic Radiation Observation System, we detected X‐ray bursts during two rocket‐triggered lightning events in 2024. By innovatively integrating optical imaging with three‐dimensional lightning channel reconstruction based on Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS), we analyzed the X‐ray emission ...
