Statistical Characteristics of Environments of Precipitating Mesoscale Convective Systems During the Pre‐Summer Season Over South China

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are known to induce heavy rainfall and pose significant weather hazards in tropical and mid‐latitude regions. Understanding the environmental conditions of MCSs is essential for improving model simulations and operational precipitation forecasts.

A Climatology of Coupled Tracks of Extratropical Cyclones and Mesoscale Convective Systems

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Weather in the midlatitudes is dominated by extratropical cyclones (ETCs) with horizontal length scales of roughly 1,000 km and mesoscale convective systems (MCSs), with horizontal length scales of roughly 100 km. This study investigates the multi‐scale interactions of these storms by comparing databases of Lagrangian tracks for both storm ...

Dynamic Versus Diabatic Controls on Atmospheric Variability in a Tropical Aquachannel

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Synoptic‐ to planetary‐scale atmospheric variability in the tropics is a potential source of predictability worldwide. However, current weather prediction models struggle to fully capture this variability. Here, we conduct tropical aquachannel simulations using the ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic model with horizontal grid spacings of 13 and 5 km ...

A Novel Ice Cloud Optical Property Model for Passive and Active Remote Sensing Applications

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract A new broad‐spectrum ice cloud optical property model, namely the Passive‐Active Remote Sensing Consistent (PARSC) model, is developed to achieve consistency between passive and active sensor‐based ocean‐occurring ice cloud property retrievals.

Deployment Strategy Shapes the Polar Climate Response to Marine Cloud Brightening

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Marine cloud brightening (MCB) is a proposed solar climate intervention strategy that increases marine cloud reflectivity to cool Earth's surface. While previous studies have largely examined its global temperature and precipitation effects, little is known about how MCB deployment strategies influence polar climate and sea ice.

Linkage Between Atmospheric Rivers and Overshooting Convection and Their Roles on UTLS Water Vapor During the North American Monsoon: Insight From DCOTSS

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Overshooting convection significantly impacts the composition of the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS), yet its linkage to Atmospheric Rivers (ARs) remains poorly understood. This study investigates how ARs modulate environmental conditions and moisture distribution associated with overshooting convection in the central and ...
