Direct assimilation of simulated radar reflectivity for typhoon In-fa using EnKF: Issue with state variables updating

Tropical Cyclone Research and Review
Using a convective scale WRF-GSI system and a reflectivity observation operator based on the double-moment microphysics (Thompson) scheme, simulated radar reflectivity data are produced and then directly assimilated with EnKF through Observing System ...

The Impacts of Weather Variability and Shocks on Farmers and Indigenous Peoples' Consumption: Evidence From Panama

Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Weather variability and shocks pose significant challenges for tropical developing countries, making it crucial to understand their effects on consumption to address the existing deficiencies among the most vulnerable groups. This study examines the impact of weather variability and shocks on household consumption in Panama, utilizing repeated

Global Wind Field Reconstruction in the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere (MLT) During Geomagnetic Storms by Fusing TIDI and SABER Data: A Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) Approach

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere establish an essential connection between Earth's lower atmosphere and upper atmosphere because wind patterns essential for atmospheric movement also influence energy distribution and chemical movements during geomagnetic storms that disrupt satellite operations and space weather prediction systems.

Flood Hazard in Aotearoa New Zealand Under Current and Future Climates

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 3, July 2026.
First nationally consistent freshwater flood maps for Aotearoa New Zealand, produced for 1% AEP rainfall design events under current and future climate conditions (1°C, 2°C, 3°C, and 4°C above pre‐industrial), with 4 m‐resolution water depth and depth–velocity outputs. ABSTRACT Flooding is one of the costliest hazards facing Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ).

Digitisation of herbarium specimens to the benefit of research: An African perspective focusing on South Africa and Western Indian Ocean Island states

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1042-1056, July 2026.
Botanical exploration, discovery and conservation rely heavily on access to herbarium collections. Recently, digital access to label information, including georeferenced locality data, and images of herbarium specimens available online have greatly increased usage of herbarium specimen data.
