Differences in Tropical Cyclone Tornado Activities and Key Tornadic Environments Between China and the United States

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract Tornadic tropical cyclones (TCs) in China occur at a similar frequency to those in the U.S., yet the number of TC tornadoes in China is only 16.5% of that in the U.S. This study reveals that one reason is that tornadic TCs in China have shorter track lengths, fewer recurving tracks, and more southerly locations when producing tornadoes.

Mechanisms of Projected Changes in Thunderstorm Downburst Environments Across the United States

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract Responses of downdraft convective available potential energy (DCAPE) to global warming were investigated using the Community Earth System Model (CESM2) under a high‐emission scenario through the year 2100. DCAPE is projected to increase by 5%–12% on average in most areas, independently of wind shear.

A Unified Theory for the Global Thunderstorm Distribution and Land–Sea Contrast

open access: yesGeophysical 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
