Extreme Potomac Floods at Washington D.C. During the Past 500 Years

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract Washington D.C. faces one of the highest 100‐year flood risks of any major city along the U.S. East Coast. In addition to storm‐surge inundation during hurricanes and nor'easters, water‐level observations for Washington are strongly skewed by major floods on the Potomac River.

On the Rotation‐Induced Pressure‐Strain Correlation in Rotating Boundary Layer Flows

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract Rotation is a fundamental feature of many weather systems. The pressure‐strain correlation plays an important role in the Reynolds stress budget. However, the behavior of the pressure‐strain correlation under rotation remains insufficiently explored. This study develops a closure model for the rotation‐induced pressure‐strain correlation.

Change in Tropical Cyclone Efficiency Under Different ENSO Conditions in the Western North Pacific Ocean

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract Tropical cyclones (TCs) can be considered as Carnot heat engines, where thermodynamic efficiency depends on the sea surface temperature (SST) and TC outflow temperature (To) in the upper atmosphere. This study investigates how TC efficiency in the western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean varies under different El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO ...

The Zonal Wave‐3 Mode Impacts Antarctic Dense Water Formation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract At the Antarctic margins, dense water masses form as sea ice develops, driving the Antarctic branch of the global meridional overturning circulation. Previous studies found that large‐scale climate modes such as the Southern Annular Mode and El Niño Southern do not fully account for the interannual variability of dense water formation.

Do Tropical Cyclones Have a Steady Translation Under a Uniform Steering Flow?

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract Changes in tropical cyclone (TC) movement are commonly attributed to those in the steering flow, beta effect, or topographic influences. However, a series of idealized simulations suggest that significant track deflections can still occur even under a steady steering flow on an f plane.

Large Eddy Simulation of an Entire Tropical Cyclone From Initial Vortex to Maturity

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract We simulated a tropical cyclone in an idealized environment, from its weak initial vortex to maturity, using a regional numerical weather prediction model with a uniform horizontal resolution of 100 m, regarded as a large eddy simulation (LES). Results of the LES were compared with those of the same model, but with a horizontal resolution of 2

The Intensification Rate for Tropical Cyclones to Reach Category 1 and Above Intensity

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract While rapid intensification (RI, ≥30 kt/24hr) is known to be crucial for major hurricanes, the broader role of maximum intensification rate in shaping tropical cyclone (TC) lifetime maximum intensity (LMI) is less understood. Using global best‐track data from 1982 to 2023, we show that experiencing an intensification rate of 20–25 kt/24hr ...

Remote Forcing of Super Typhoon Mawar on the 2023 Quebec Wildfires

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract Typhoons and wildfires are major global climate and environmental hazards, yet their potential interactions remain poorly understood, particularly through remote atmospheric forcing. Taking the 2023 Quebec wildfires as an example, we investigate how a tropical cyclone can influence wildfire‐favorable conditions.

Event‐Level Linkages Between Atmospheric Circulation and Anomalous Precipitation Types in a Typical East Asian Monsoon Basin

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract Anomalous precipitation, with unexpected intensity and/or spatiotemporal structures, makes flood risk management in the East Asian monsoon regions challenging, where interacting circulation systems generate highly variable precipitation events.

Precipitation Response to Mesoscale SST Variability: Insights From Observations and Multi‐Resolution Models

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract Mesoscale sea surface temperature (SST) variability influences the marine atmosphere boundary layer (MABL), affecting near‐surface winds and turbulent heat fluxes. This study examines precipitation response to mesoscale SST forcing using satellite observations, ERA5 reanalysis, and high‐ and low‐resolution climate models. The results show that
