Union Pacific Railroad. Photographical Illustrations. [front cover]
[Transcribed from Preface] The views prepared for this volume are of scenes and localities along the line of the Union Pacific Railroad, which stretches from Omaha on the Missouri River to Sacramento on the Pacific Coast, a distance of 1,721 ...

Decadal‐scale drivers of South Pacific hydroclimate variability
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Using prescribed SST perturbations in the IGCM4 model, we investigate the mechanisms by which three major modes of low‐frequency climate variability—the IPO, AMV, and Southern Ocean SST‐driven midlatitude jet shifts—modulate the South Pacific hydroclimate.

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This study evaluates the subseasonal predictive skill of tropical–extratropical cloud bands across four subtropical convergence zones in ECMWF reforecasts (2003–2022). Results show that, while exact daily predictions are limited to one week, accounting for temporal displacement improves forecast skill significantly, revealing a systematic early onset ...

Climate‐change‐amplified wind‐related economic losses during Cyclone Harry (2026)
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Cyclone Harry (January 2026) produced significant wind and rainfall impacts across southern Italy. Compared with 1950–1987, present conditions show warmer temperatures and stronger winds, increasing exposure. An estimated 72 million euros of damage are attributable to climate‐driven wind intensification. Abstract Cyclone Harry affected Sicily, Calabria,

Revisiting bare‐ground evaporation in a high‐resolution numerical weather prediction system
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.An improved method is proposed to parameterize evaporation in numerical weather prediction models. The figure shows dew‐point temperature forecast error (standard deviation of forecast error and bias) versus lead time over the North Plains region during spring 2022 for three parameterizations: CTL, the α$$ \alpha $$ method of Jacquemin and Noilhan; IFS:

Spontaneous zonal symmetry breaking of tropical rain belt
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Precipitable‐water snapshots show how a sea surface temperature (SST)‐forced tropical rain belt can remain zonally elongated or spontaneously reorganize into a localized convective cluster. The simulations identify the SST conditions favoring this zonal convective self‐aggregation and relate the transition to changes in boundary‐layer circulation and ...
