Geophysical Research LettersA series of recent papers in Geophysical Research Letters and the Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres have explored the usefulness of a new “fullness” metric characterizing the ratio of the inner and outer core size of tropical cyclones and ...

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.We document the protocol and first results from the first ever coordinated multimodel variable‐resolution experiment set with refinement over the polar regions. We find that the refinement generally yields model‐dependent effects. The most consistent improvement is an amelioration of the upper‐level cold bias in the polar regions that translates into ...

Evaluating anisotropy‐based Monin–Obukhov similarity theory over canopies and complex terrain
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This study shows that an anisotropy‐based generalization of Monin–Obukhov surface‐layer scaling (SC23) applies readily across a wide range of atmospheric conditions with variable terrain, canopies, and land‐cover complexity. This work focuses on the scaling of velocity variances for 7 years at the 47 sites in the National Ecological Observation Network

A retrospective on the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season
Weather, EarlyView.The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season was intermittent, with extended quiet periods separated by three clusters of activity. The broad‐scale conditions were often unfavourable for cyclogenesis and common drivers of activity such as La Niña were weak, but well above‐average sea temperatures still supported intense storms.

Weather, EarlyView.Cyclone Ditwah (2025) made landfall in Sri Lanka as a tropical cyclone with only moderate intensity winds (~65–75kmh−1). Yet, its prolonged heavy rainfall also led to landslides and widespread flooding across Sri Lanka and the southern Indian states, with the combined effects of hazards causing impacts totalling 4.1 billion USD. Ditwah is, therefore, a

Weather, EarlyView.This study documents the unseasonal and prolonged heavy rain events which occurred in southern China during April 2024. In this series of extreme rainfall events, Guangdong province recorded extreme rainfall exceeding 6‐sigma of climatology, with eleven cities reporting record‐breaking rainfall.

Nonlinear Convection–SST Sensitivity as a Bridge for the Asymmetric Low‐Level Wind Response to ENSO
Geophysical Research LettersObservations and model simulations reveal that El Niño generates stronger westerly anomalies than the easterlies induced by La Niña. Here we show that this asymmetry arises from the nonlinear sensitivity of atmospheric convection to total sea surface ...
