When lightning propagates upwards

open access: yes, 2023
Upward lightning (UL) is rare but highly underestimated as it can be much more destructive than “common” downward lightning. It starts from high structures (> 100 m) and propagates towards the electrified thundercloud above. Its initial continuous current lasts about ten times longer than the current flowing in downward lightning.

Capability Demonstration of a JEDI‐Based System for TEMPO Assimilation: System Description and Evaluation

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The launch of the Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) mission in 2023 marked a new era in air quality monitoring by providing high‐frequency, geostationary observations of column NO2 across most of North America. In this study, we present the first implementation of a TEMPO NO2 data assimilation system using the Joint ...

Lightning Jump Algorithm and Relation to Thunderstorm Cell Tracking, GLM Proxy and Other Meteorological Measurements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The lightning jump algorithm has a robust history in correlating upward trends in lightning to severe and hazardous weather occurrence. The algorithm uses the correlation between the physical principles that govern an updraft's ability to produce ...

Beyond the Training Data: Confidence‐Guided Mixing of Parameterizations in a Hybrid AI‐Climate Model

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Persistent systematic errors in Earth system models (ESMs) arise from difficulties in representing the full diversity of subgrid, multiscale atmospheric convection and turbulence. Machine learning (ML) parameterizations trained on short high‐resolution simulations show strong potential to reduce these errors.
