It could have a great impact on the rate of standard crop evapotranspiration (ET<sub>c</sub>) in the irrigated areas. Therefore, it is required to take it into consideration while computing crop water requirement through the physically based meteorological procedures. The objectives of this study are (1) simple modification of the Penman–Monteith (PM) equation in calculation of the grass reference evapotranspiration (ET<sub>o</sub>) to implement the local advection, (2) comparing the single (K<sub>c</sub>) and dual crop coefficient (K<sub>cb</sub>) of two quinoa cultivars (Titicaca, and Q5) with and without advection correction and (3) presenting a simple model to calculate the advection factor using the maximum air temperature and mean relative humidity for the future crop growth modelling studies. Both Q5 and Titicaca showed unexpectedly very high ET<sub>c</sub> and potential transpiration (T<sub>p</sub>) as 1568 mm and 1003 mm, and 1156 mm and 829 mm, respectively, due to occurrence of regional advection, whereas very high unrealistic K<sub>c</sub> and K<sub>cb</sub> values for Q5 revealed the impact of strong local advection and external energy. Therefore, we modified ET<sub>o</sub> to implement the advection effect through introducing the advection factor, ET<sub>c</sub>/R<sub>n</sub> (R<sub>n</sub> is the net radiation), as a function of maximum air temperature and mean relative air humidity during the growing season [ET<sub>c</sub>/R<sub>n</sub> = exp (0.025T<sub>max</sub> – 0.015RH<sub>avg</sub>)] which resulted in higher ET<sub>o</sub> values, and consequently lower and more realistic K<sub>c</sub> and K<sub>cb</sub>. As a result, modified maximum K<sub>c</sub> values of 1.14 and 1.55 and the modified maximum K<sub>cb</sub> of 0.94 and 1.0 were obtained for Titicaca and Q5 cultivars, respectively. This procedure leads to a more accurate site-specific K<sub>c</sub> estimation and indirectly reliable ET<sub>c</sub> estimation as a function of advection factor and its multiplication by the non-modified ET<sub>o</sub>. Furthermore, for direct estimation of ET<sub>c</sub> through the PM equation, the coefficients of aerodynamic and canopy resistance components of PM equation were modified for estimation of ET<sub>c</sub> by the non-modified R<sub>n</sub>, which resulted in accurate estimation of ET<sub>c</sub>.</p>","PeriodicalId":49825,"journal":{"name":"Meteorological Applications","volume":"31 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/met.2189","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140135404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Climatologic relationships between the two phenomena reveal that 92% (39%) of all cold surges are accompanied by ECs (explosive extratropical cyclones, abbreviated as EC-E), while 31% of ECs are accompanied by cold surges. The occurrence and development of ECs favour eruptions of cold air from higher latitudes, which in turn produce conditions conducive to cold surges. In the North Pacific, ECs travel in a northeastward direction, ultimately contributing to the Aleutian low. Meanwhile, the westerly jet is observed to strengthen following cold surge events. Both actions drive further EC activity, which in turn facilitates subsequent cold surges. Therefore, when ECs occur before and after cold surges, the cold surge event itself tends to be relatively strong and long lived. The transmission of energy by ECs is a primary link between the high and middle latitudes and contributes to the impact of cold surges on low latitudes. This study also explores the respective influences of the Siberia High and Aleutian Low on cold surges. The majority of cold surges that do not involve ECs occur in the context of the weaker Siberia High and Aleutian Low. Cold surges accompanied with ECs can be even stronger and longer lasting when the Siberia High and Aleutian Low strengthen.</p>","PeriodicalId":49825,"journal":{"name":"Meteorological Applications","volume":"31 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/met.2182","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140114341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different fogs have evident annual and monthly variations in frequency. Advection fog mostly appear from February to April, while radiation fog is mainly between November and February. Six synoptic patterns associated with fogs were determine by a self-organizing maps cluster method, two of which, namely ‘west of marine high pressure’ and ‘inverted trough’, are most favourable for the formation of advection fogs, whereas ‘bottom of weak cold high-pressure’ is favourable for radiation fogs. The frequency of advection fog occurrence exhibits temporal fluctuations with distinct peaks occurring 2–3 h after sunset, around midnight, and 1–2 h before sunrise, while almost all radiation fog occur in the second half of the night, and favourable conditions for fog onset become more effective with the length of the night. Radiation fog exhibits a longer duration than advection fog and tends to result in lower visibility. The prevalent wind direction for the formation of advection fog is generally from the east to the southeast, whereas radiation fog is typically associated with westerly winds.

In this review, the S2S literature relevant to the southern hemisphere (SH) are presented. Predictive skill, sources of predictability, and the application of S2S predictions are discussed.

Accurately detecting the spatial location of lightning occurrence by predicting thunderstorms and lightning is of great significance. Traditional lightning detection systems detect lightning by measuring the sound, light, and electromagnetic field information radiated by lightning. These methods typically have two problems. First, the detection process of lightning signals is susceptible to electromagnetic interference. Second, the equipment cost is high and is not friendly to some lightning detection tasks only targeted at specific scenarios. In order to detect lightning more conveniently, we propose a lightning detection model based on deep learning networks. With the increase in the use of cameras in modern society, designing lightning object detection networks based on deep learning is possible. However, two problems have been found in existing practice: (1) When strong lightning meteorological phenomena occur, the lightning features in the image are covered by bright electric lights, and convolutional neural networks cannot distinguish between strong lightning scenes and strong ultraviolet scenes. (2) The performance of convolutional neural networks is often related to the model's size. The larger the model, the stronger the performance of the network. However, in practical application scenarios, computing resources are insufficient to use sufficiently large networks. In this paper, we propose a simple and effective lightning object detection network (LD-Net) and use a foreground-background segmentation algorithm to locate frames containing lightning in the video. After using the knowledge distillation-based model compression method, the mAP of the lightning object detection network with a backbone net of resnet with 18-layer (LD-Net-18) can reach 82.4%. We hope that the proposed LD-Net can serve as a simple and powerful alternative to traditional lightning detection methods, enhancing efficiency in lightning detection tasks.</p>","PeriodicalId":49825,"journal":{"name":"Meteorological Applications","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/met.2171","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139937277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Skilful S2S forecasts are vital in assisting decision-makers in the development of contingency planning for any eventualities that may arise because of weather and climate phenomena. Extreme high- and low-temperature events over a prolonged period can lead to hyperthermia and hypothermia, respectively, and can lead to loss of life. The results from the relative operating characteristic (ROC) and reliability diagrams indicate that the ECMWF S2S model has skill in predicting maximum temperature up to week 3 ahead, particularly over the central and eastern parts of South Africa. The ROC scores indicate that the model has skill in predicting minimum temperature up to week 4 ahead for the above-normal category, particularly over the central and eastern parts of South Africa. Reliability diagrams indicate that the model has a tendency of overestimating the below-normal category when predicting both maximum and minimum temperatures for weeks 1–4 lead times over South Africa.
