Roles of Surface Latent Heat Flux and Gravity Waves in Offshore MCS Development in the Coastal Eastern Tropical Pacific

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract The eastern tropical Pacific (ETP) coastal region, one of the rainiest places on Earth, is characterized by distinct diurnal offshore rainfall propagation primarily driven by mesoscale convective systems (MCSs). Previous studies have shown that MCS initiation in this region peaks in the early morning, with diurnally generated gravity waves ...

Exploring the Implications of the Russo‐Ukrainian War on Natural Gas Usage and Consequent Impacts on Air Quality in Northern Italy

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract This study examines how the Russo‐Ukrainian war affected natural gas consumption and air quality in northern Italy. The conflict disrupted European natural gas supplies, leading to a reduction in residential natural gas use. We investigated how this reduction affected air quality, focusing on residential wood combustion (RWC) as an alternative

Urban Land Surface Effects on Summertime Clouds and Moist Convection in Houston Under Different Synoptic Conditions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Urban landscapes modify cloud formation and convection through complex thermodynamic and aerodynamic processes; however, their influence under different synoptic regimes remains poorly understood. This study investigates the impact of the Houston metropolitan area on summertime cloud cover and convective cell characteristics using a ...

Regional Transport in the Arctic: Sensitivity of NOx and Particulate Matter in Wintertime Urban Alaska to Background Air

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Fairbanks, Alaska is an example of a subarctic city that experiences severe wintertime air quality episodes characterized by high concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2 = NOx). Previous research into these air quality episodes has focused on the impact of surface‐based inversions that trap local ...

Future Climate Projections of Hazardous Convective Weather Using an Ensemble of Environment‐Informed, Convection‐Permitting Dynamical Downscaling Simulations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Convection‐permitting dynamical downscaling (CPDD) allows for an explicit representation of the convective storms that generate tornadoes, hail, severe thunderstorm winds, and locally heavy precipitation. Possible changes in such hazardous convective weather (HCW) due to human‐induced climate change are therefore projected with higher ...

South American Mesoscale Convective Systems: Present and Future Climates

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) over South America in a future climate using two distinct modeling approaches: the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) regional model with dynamical downscaling and pseudoglobal warming, and the Nonhydrostatic Icosahedral Atmospheric Model (NICAM) global cloud‐resolving model ...

Examination of Ozone Sensitivity to Stomatal Conductance in Urban Areas

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Stomatal conductance is a key factor in controlling ozone deposition velocity. Little is known about stomatal conductance and its impacts on air quality in urban areas because urban vegetation in developed land cover types is often omitted in global and regional models.
