Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.We explore the relationship between dryline intensity, convective activity, and the regional circulation over southern Africa during summer by comparing weak and strong convective drylines with each other. We find that strong drylines result in stronger convection with up to 3.6 times more lightning strokes adjacent to the dryline than on weak dryline ...

Asthma: From Phenotypes to Endotypes—Beyond Type 2 Inflammation
Respirology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Asthma is a heterogeneous syndrome featuring variable pathophysiology, clinical presentation and treatment response. This review examines a comprehensive endotype‐phenotype framework for asthma assessment with an emphasis on characteristics beyond T2 inflammatory status alone.

Transient Thunderstorm Downbursts and Their Effects on Wind Turbines
Energies, 2014 The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Standard 61400-1 for the design of wind turbines does not explicitly address site-specific conditions associated with anomalous atmospheric events or conditions.

Effects of relative humidity on electrification and lightning discharges in thunderstorms
, 2018 Ten-year measurements of lightning and relative humidity from 2002 2011 have been analyzed in the Nanjing city, China. Statistical analysis shows the lightning density is positively correlated to relative humidity during this period.

International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The use of frequencies above 30 GHz (millimeter waves) for communication purposes is nowadays a necessity, both for terrestrial (e.g., 5G/6G) and satellite links. One reason is the need for more bandwidth and the fact that “traditional” frequency bands are already fully occupied.

Arctic ScienceCloud-to-ground (CG) lightning frequency is projected to increase under future warming scenarios in Canada’s boreal forest. In this study, we examine historical (1998–2023) CG lightning flash trends along the interface of boreal forest and Arctic tundra (

Profuse activity of blue electrical discharges at the tops of thunderstorms
, 2017 Thunderstorm clouds may reach the lower stratosphere, affecting the exchange of greenhouse gases between the troposphere and stratosphere. This region of the atmosphere is difficult to access experimentally, and our knowledge of the processes taking ...
