Global warming has led to an increasing frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation events worldwide. The extreme precipitation of Henan Province in central China usually occurs in summer, with the climate transition from the northern subtropica...

Against the backdrop of intensified global climate change, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events in mainland China continue to rise due to its unique topography and complex climate types. In-depth research on the trends and impacts of...

Solar radiation is an element and a meteorological factor that is present in several processes, such as evapotranspiration, photosynthesis, and energy generation, among others. However, in some regions, there is a limitation in surface data measureme...

Very-low-frequency (VLF) electromagnetic waves (3–30 kHz) are stable and attenuated, suitable for various applications in submarine communication and earthquake prediction. Very-low-frequency electromagnetic waves usually propagate in atmospher...

Sprite halos are transient luminous phenomena in the lower ionosphere triggered by tropospheric lightning. The effect of removed charge distributions on sprite halos has not been sufficiently discussed. A three-dimensional (3D) quasi-electrostatic (Q...

Atmospheric visibility is a crucial meteorological element impacting urban air pollution monitoring, public transportation, and military security. Traditional visibility detection methods, primarily manual and instrumental, have been costly and impre...

The raw materials of cement contain radioactive elements that come from natural sources. Members of the decay chains of uranium, thorium, and potassium radioisotope 40K are the primary sources of this radioactivity. The natural radionuclide concentra...

Apart from headwind changes, crosswind changes may be hazardous to aircraft operation. This paper presents two cases of recently observed crosswind changes from the range height indicator scans of ground-based remote sensing meteorological equipment,...

A weather regimes approach is applied to study large-scale circulation patterns over the North Eurasian sector (NE, defined as 0–180° E and 40–80° N domain) during the 1940–2022 period using ERA5 reanalysis data. We identifi...

The development of high-precision, long-term, hourly-scale precipitation data is essential for understanding extreme precipitation events. Reanalysis systems are particularly promising for this type of research due to their long-term observations and...
