As convective clouds in Northeast Asia are accompanied by various hazards related with heavy rainfall and thunderstorms, it is very important to detect convective initiation (CI) in the region in order to mitigate damage by such hazards. In this stud...

This paper proposes a complete framework of a machine learning-based model that detects convective initiation (CI) from geostationary meteorological satellite data. The suggested framework consists of three main processes: (1) An automated sampling t...

Thunderstorms in southeastern South America (SESA) stand out in satellite observations as being among the strongest on Earth in terms of satellite-based convective proxies, such as lightning flash rate per storm, the prevalence for extremely tall, wi...

Based on the ARPS (Advanced Regional Prediction System) at 2 km grid spacing, the convective initiation (CI) of cells that evolved into a squall line on the southern flank of a Meiyu front in East China is investigated. The initiations of four convec...

The mechanism for convection initiation (CI) associated with the merger of an immature sea-breeze front (SBF) and gust front (GF) that occurred in North China on 31 July 2010 was investigated based on both observations and Weather Research and Foreca...

The convection initiation (CI) mechanisms of severe storms have received increasing attention because severe storms have been occurring more frequently around the globe in recent years. In this work, the CI mechanisms of severe convective weather ass...

The mechanism of convection initiation (CI) occurring in the Southwest Xinjiang, Northwest China is investigated using quantitative budget analysis of vertical momentum for the first time. The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model is used to r...

With the upgrading of geostationary meteorological satellites, their capabilities in Convective Initiation (CI) identification have been enhanced. To improve the applicability of the ARGI-based CI algorithm in central and eastern China, this study us...

The relative importance of topography and soil moisture on the initiation of an afternoon deep convection under weak synoptic-scale forcing was investigated using the weather research and forecasting (WRF) model with high resolution (1.33 km). The co...

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia launched a Regional Cloud Seeding Program in 2022 to enhance rainfall in central and southwestern regions. This study highlights a cloud seeding case on 1 November 2023, using convective development products derived from t...

On 12–13 February 2016, a record-breaking rain–snow event during the passage of an extratropical cyclone occurred in Shandong Province, China, in which the 24 h precipitation totals at 48 of 123 national meteorological stations in Shandon...

The mechanism of convection initiation (CI) over Ili River Valley (IRV) in Xinjiang, Northwest China, was investigated based on both weather stations and radar observations and Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model simulation. Observations sho...

Extreme precipitation events have been occurring frequently worldwide, and their causative factors and convection initiation (CI) mechanisms have been attracting more and more attention in recent years. As a comprehensive study on the CI mechanisms o...
