Trends in thunderstorm days, lightning activity, squalls and the environmental factors in Hong Kong

Weather, EarlyView.
This study analyses trends in Hong Kong's convective weather using long‐term observer‐based and shorter‐term instrument‐based data. Annual thunderstorm days increased significantly by 1.9 days decade−1 in 1947–2024, notably in June–September, consistent with increasingly favourable warm‐season environments for thunderstorms.

Vortex dynamics in the studies of looping in tropical cyclone tracks

, 1997
This paper proposes criteria for predicting the tendency of looping in tropical cyclone tracks using the approach of vortex dynamics. We model the asymmetric structure of a cyclone by a system of vortex patches.

Filtration of airborne eDNA outperforms leaf swabs for terrestrial vertebrate detection in a temperate mixed forest with longer filtration times performing the best

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Advances in collection of environmental DNA (eDNA) through active air filtration and sampling from vegetation (leaf swabs) have demonstrated the promise of using airborne eDNA for terrestrial vertebrate surveys. However, methods are at an early stage, and we lack insights into the effect of air filtration time and the complementarity between ...

Indigenous‐Led Adaptation to Complex Climate Risks in New Ireland, Papua New Guinea

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pacific Island peoples have long histories of adapting to environmental changes, but recent climate change is now driving complex risks that unfold within rapidly shifting societal and environmental contexts. This study investigates how remote Indigenous communities in New Ireland, Papua New Guinea, experience and want to respond to complex ...

Strong impact of tropical cyclones on the genesis of subsurface marine heatwaves

Communications Earth & Environment
Subsurface marine heatwaves are newly recognized extreme ocean events with profound impacts on global marine ecosystems. Previous studies have linked their formation to downwelling favorable surface winds, warm ocean eddies, and planetary waves, yet ...

Soil wetting and drying processes influence stone artefact distribution in clay‐rich soils: A case study from Middle Gidley Island in Murujuga, northwest Western Australia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.
