Modelling the Black Carbon Variability and Dynamics in Almaty, Kazakhstan, During Winter and Summer Seasons

Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
The study investigates the seasonal transport of black carbon (BC) from Almaty, Kazakhstan, to adjacent mountain areas. The radiative effects associated with BC are evaluated at the surface, within the atmosphere, and at the top of the atmosphere. ABSTRACT Large cities with poor air quality can affect surrounding areas through pollutant transport and ...

TURAAB: A 34‐Year Dust and Atmospheric Regional Reanalysis for the Middle East, North Africa and Mediterranean—First Insights

Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
TURAAB: A 34‐year dust and atmospheric regional reanalysis for the Mediterranean–MENA region. We present TURAAB, a 34‐year, 6‐km regional reanalysis integrating meteorology and dust for the Mediterranean–MENA domain. The system demonstrates good behavior, aligning closely with observational and reanalysis products. TURAAB provides a high‐value resource

Advanced Fade Mitigation Techniques for Q/V Band SATCOM Systems

International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, Volume 44, Issue 3, Page 288-296, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Adaptive fade mitigation techniques, such as smart gateway diversity (SGD), are essential in addressing atmospheric fading affecting the operation of high throughput and very high throughput satellite systems at Ka‐band and beyond. Specifically, the Q/V‐band, offering up to 5 GHz of available spectrum, is very attractive for future high data ...

Enhancing Regional Ensemble‐Variational Data Assimilation for Convection‐Permitting Prediction With Combination of the Dual‐Localization and Scales Blending of Global and Regional Ensembles

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This study proposes a new scheme combining ensemble blending and dual‐localization of ensemble error covariance in an ensemble‐variational (EnVar) framework to better account for both the multi‐scale characteristics of the background and background error covariance for high‐resolution data assimilation and forecasting.

Unprecedented Shifts in Hydrology Are Emerging Across California's Critical Basins: An Evaluation From 0.5 to 3.5°C

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract With advances in climate models and downscaling techniques, stakeholders anticipate high‐resolution analysis to inform regional to local changes in water management. Here, we produce hydrologic projections from an ensemble of Earth System Models (ESMs) that were selected and downscaled to support California's 5th Climate Assessment.

Foraging plasticity and physiological adaptations enable hummingbirds to subsist on dilute nectars

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1475-1490, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Hummingbirds frequently feed on small volumes (<30 μL) of sucrose‐rich nectars. Climate change is expected to affect both the abundance and the concentrations of accumulated nectar.

Can Terrain Induce Moist Absolutely Unstable Layers and Enhance Extreme Rainfall?

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Extreme rainfall events in Taiwan pose significant forecasting challenges due to complex multiscale interactions. Although orographic lifting is known to trigger convection, its role in modifying atmospheric stability, specifically through the formation of moist absolutely unstable layers (MAULs), remains underexplored. This study presents the

Revisiting Intrinsic Predictability of Wave‐Convection Coupled Bands Over Southern China: Variable and Scale‐Dependent Error Growth Characteristics

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the variable‐ and scale‐dependent intrinsic predictability of wave‐convection coupled bands over southern China on 30 January 2018, using 1‐km simulations under varying initial moisture conditions. The predictability time is quantified via the Loss Predictability Index (LPI), defined as the ratio of the forecast error ...
