This study investigates the sensitivity of hurricane track and intensity forecasts to various cumulus parameterization schemes with scale-awareness, including the Simplified Arakawa-Schubert (SAS), Relaxed Arakawa-Schubert (RAS), and Chikira-Sugiyama...
Rainfed smallholder farming systems in semi-arid tropical climates are highly vulnerable to drought, threatening food security and rural livelihoods. This study evaluates drought variability, severity, and temporal periodicity from 1981 to 2021 acros...
Stratospheric polar vortex (SPV) stretching events are typically of 1–2 weeks in duration when the SPV is elongated and locally extends anomalously south into lower latitudes. Such events are often associated with extreme cold over the Great Pl...
Climate change has significantly influenced regional precipitation patterns, affecting agricultural productivity and water-resource sustainability in monsoon-dependent regions. Reliable climate projections are therefore essential for climate impact a...
Accurate forecasting of Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE) is critical for severe weather prediction. However, the operational GFS model exhibits a persistent low-CAPE bias. In this work, we apply a two-step regression–diffusion model...
The recovery of measurements from the early instrumental period is crucial for improving the quality of historical climate reconstructions, enhancing model calibration, and increasing the reliability of long-term predictions. The study aims to recove...
Arctic temperatures are rising faster than global temperatures. They show regionality that impacts specific extreme events. The previous five years favor three large societal im-pacts: Canadian wildfires with extensive air pollution, disastrous landf...
Southern South America encompasses temperate forests, steppe ecosystems, peatlands, fjords, and marine environments that support unique biodiversity and human communities, containing one of the world’s largest freshwater reserves in the Patagon...
The combined influence of the NAO and EA on monthly precipitation across mainland Spain remains insufficiently understood despite their recognized importance for European climate variability. This study investigates how individual and combined NAO an...
This study investigates the impact of assimilating Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT) Level-2 surface soil moisture retrievals into the Application of Research to Operations at Mesoscale (AROME) model, the operational numerical weather prediction system...
Morocco, located at the southern margin of the Mediterranean climate-change hotspot, is exposed to a rapidly evolving precipitation regime whose national-scale characterization remains incomplete. This study delivers an integrated assessment of the s...
Heat and ultraviolet (UV) radiation are among the most consequential environmental stressors intensified by anthropogenic climate change [...]
This study introduces a novel empirical model to estimate the total pressure drag generated by trapped lee waves (TLW) and upward-propagating internal waves in moderate-to-strong non-hydrostatic, stratified flow over a mountain ridge, as a function o...
This study applies a synoptic seasonal climatological framework, extended vertically through the troposphere, to investigate the South Asian monsoon using daily mean data (1948–2024) from the NCEP–NCAR Reanalysis. A seasonal synoptic circ...
