The first 150m of height were studied in two areas in the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula. The preliminary results have validated the use of drones as a suitable means of transport for obtaining microthermal measurements. We have also assessed the influence of the planetary boundary layer on the quality of the image for astronomical purposes. In future research, we intend to check these measurements with fixed microthermal sensors installed in meteorological towers.","PeriodicalId":23637,"journal":{"name":"Weather","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140324800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Atmospheric electricity ‘CTR Wilson’ meeting 2023","authors":"Caleb Miller, R. Giles Harrison","doi":"10.1002/wea.4544","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/wea.4544","url":null,"abstract":"<p>On 16 November 2023, UK and international researchers gathered at the University of Bath for the 11th CTR Wilson Meeting on atmospheric electricity. The CTR Wilson Institute for Atmospheric Electricity honours the Nobel Prize winner who also pioneered the global circuit concept and published extensively on atmospheric electrical topics. It is integrated with the Special Interest Group of the Royal Meteorological Society, to advance understanding of atmospheric electricity. (<i>Atmospheric electricity</i> concerns diverse and varied electrical phenomenon in the atmosphere, including lightning, atmospheric ionisation and the global electric circuit.) There were 39 registrants for this meeting, which was organised by Martin Fullekrug, Karen Aplin, Alec Bennett, Keri Nicoll and Giles Harrison.

He introduced the topic of SR transients, which exceed the ELF (extremely low frequency) radio noise generated by global lightning strikes. They indicate a large change in vertical electric charge moment in large lightning strikes, and there are several methods to geolocate their source strikes. Using a network of 30 sites across the globe, he presented several case studies, including for the Tonga volcano eruption of 2022.</p>\u0000<p>An online presentation was given by <i>Yoav Yair</i> (Reichman University, Israel), who discussed lightning geolocation data showing that lightning superbolt incidence rates were increased over ship tracks in the Mediterranean. This behaviour was argued to result from aerosol pollution from ship exhausts, increasing storm activity and lightning. He was able to find evidence that lightning superbolts (defined by the highest percentiles in the energy distribution of detected strikes) were enhanced in the eastern ","PeriodicalId":23637,"journal":{"name":"Weather","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140107652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The resultant 2022 drought had widespread impacts and prompted much discussion about the continuing vulnerability of the UK to drought, particularly in the context of anthropogenic warming. Here, we briefly describe the evolution of the drought before focusing on the severity of rainfall, river flow, soil moisture and groundwater level deficits from summer 2022, placing the event into a historical context and addressing the impacts of the drought. We also consider whether the 2022 drought is part of a long-term trend towards increasing drought severity.","PeriodicalId":23637,"journal":{"name":"Weather","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140070728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
