Are West African Heat‐Lows Analogous to Dry Tropical Cyclones?

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.
Heat‐lows qualitatively resemble dry tropical cyclones (TCs), though their underlying physics has yet to be compared. In this study, we show that West African transient heat‐low climatology correlates well with TC potential intensity generalised over land.

Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Spatial Asymmetries in the Lesser Antilles

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.
Rainfall is not proportional to the Saffir‐Simpson wind‐based categories. Lower category tropical cyclones (TS, H1, H2 and H3) can generate more intense rainfall than H4 and H5. Rainfall is asymmetric; as a tropical cyclone intensifies or weakens, the location of peak rainfall shifts.

Spatiotemporal Evolution of Hydroclimatic Variables in the Brazilian Semi‐Arid Region Through the Aridity Index and Susceptibility to Desertification

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.
Over the past 60 years, noticeable changes have been observed in the main hydroclimatological variables, driven by both natural and anthropogenic factors. In the context of climate change, such behaviour may adversely affect the state's economic activities, as well as increase the recurrence of extreme events in the region.

Causal Impact of ENSO on Future Ozone Concentrations and Transport in the Tropical Tropopause Layer

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Alterations in the tropopause are recognized as key signals of anthropogenic climate change and further understanding of the major drivers of future changes in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) is crucial. Nevertheless, the causal effects of the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on TTL remain elusive, particularly in a future warming ...

Correcting Underestimated Internal Variability Fails to Reconcile Models With Observed Pacific SST Gradient Strengthening

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The equatorial Pacific zonal sea surface temperature (SST) gradient has strengthened since 1980, yet fewer than 1% of CMIP6 simulations reproduce this trend. We test whether underestimated internal variability explains this mismatch. Extreme El Niño events enhance interdecadal variability of the gradient, but CMIP6 models simulate them too ...
