It is demonstrated that the 10–20-day GPI dominates the intraseasonal variability of the GPI over the South China Sea (SCS) from June to September during 1979–2021. The spatiotemporal evolutions of the 10–20-day GPI in the TCG processes show distinct diverse characteristics. Through extended empirical orthogonal function (EEOF) analysis and spatial correlation coefficients, the 10–20-day GPI propagation characteristics of the TCG processes are mainly classified into 3 categories: WN-Pattern, N-Pattern, and W-Pattern. The WN-Pattern originates from the tropical western North Pacific (WNP), then gradually intensifies and propagates northwestward to the northern SCS. The N-Pattern moves northward from Indonesia to the central-northern SCS and distinctly strengthens from 2 days before the cyclogenesis. The W-Pattern features westward propagation from the subtropical WNP to the northern SCS. These three propagation patterns correspond to the respective locations of SCS TCG. In the GPI terms of these three patterns, the low-level absolute vorticity and mid-level relative humidity are considered as the dominant environmental factors. Furthermore, the significant cyclonic circulation anomalies and water vapor flux anomalies are well coordinated with the 10–20-day GPI in all the three patterns, constituting favorable dynamical and thermodynamic conditions for SCS TCG. This study may be beneficial for deeper comprehension of the subseasonal large-scale environmental factors about SCS TCG.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8600,"journal":{"name":"Atmospheric Research","volume":"312 ","pages":"Article 107737"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142572127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the correlations between the concentration of particulate matter in the outdoor air and meteorological conditions will help to take steps to reduce pollution and reduce the risk of threats to health and life. For many years, scientists from all over the world have been looking for relationship between the impact of meteorological conditions on the concentration of particulate matter. Despite this, it is still not known whether the relationships will be similar in all locations. Furthermore, there is no agreement among scientists on the direction and strength of the correlation between temperature, humidity, and particulate matter concentrations. The article presents an attempt to link the impact of meteorological conditions on particulate matter concentrations depending on the classification of the area into air quality index in the particulate matter (AQI_PM) category. Three locations with a specific air quality index were included: extremely poor, moderate &amp; fair and good. The research was carried out at nine locations near educational facilities. Four measurement series were carried out for each location. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to assess the relationship with an assumed significance level of 0.05. A research hypothesis was adopted: The correlation between particulate matter and meteorological conditions is different in locations with different AQI_PM. The results obtained clearly show that the relationships between meteorological conditions and the concentration of particulate matter depend on the classification of the area into a specific category of the air quality index. The strongest correlation occurs in the fair &amp; moderate AQI_PM area. In relation to temperature, there is a negative correlation, and in relation to humidity, positive. In the extremely poor AQI_PM area, no relationship was observed between humidity and particulate matter concentration. In the good AQI_PM area, the correlation in relation to temperature was very weak, in relation to humidity, weak.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8600,"journal":{"name":"Atmospheric Research","volume":"312 ","pages":"Article 107733"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142531982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three methods of fractal dimension estimation are employed namely the: (i) box-counting, (ii) sandbox, and (iii) correlation method, utilizing algorithms developed in MATLAB software. Appropriate image processing techniques are employed to guarantee precision in fractal dimension estimation. A thorough discussion is conducted by comparing the estimated fractal dimension values with those previously documented in the relevant literature based on field observations. The mean fractal dimension of downward negative leaders for the three methods (1.18, 1.31, 1.38) aligns well with previous studies, while positive downward leaders exhibit lower values (1.08, 1.15, 1.26), denoting a reduced branching behavior; upward leaders demonstrate slightly higher fractal dimensions than downward ones. Additionally, an attempt to correlate the lightning return stroke peak current with the fractal dimension is made.

This is done through a series of sensitivity experiments under idealized conditions using a high-resolution cloud-resolving atmospheric model. The results show that artificially increasing diabatic heating in rainbands enhances convective activities in ORBs and leads to an earlier secondary eyewall formation (SEF), and later the faster weakening and earlier dissipation of the primary eyewall. Reducing diabatic heating in ORBs weakens the rainbands and delays the SEF but prolongs the duration of the double eyewall structure if the SEF occurs. Reducing diabatic cooling in ORBs enhances convective activity in rainbands but has little effect on convection in the primary eyewall prior to the SEF. However, it results in a widened eyewall structure and a stronger TC after the eyewall replacement. Increasing diabatic cooling in ORBs largely suppresses convection in rainbands and prohibits the SEF. These results demonstrate that diabatic heating/cooling in ORBs plays important roles in the SEF and evolution. Since diabatic heating/cooling in rainbands is sensitive to the near-core environmental relative humidity, our results demonstrate the critical importance of large-scale environmental moist condition to the formation and evolution of secondary eyewall in TCs. In addition, it is also found that when the area-averaged diabatic heating rate in ORBs becomes similar in magnitude to that in the primary eyewall, the secondary eyewall forms.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Plain language summary&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Previous studies have demonstrated the importance of diabatic heating/cooling in outer rainbands to the structure and intensity changes of tropical cyclones (TCs) with a single eyewall.

The lightning forecasts over study regions of East and Northeast India (ENEI) and Peninsular India (PI) during the pre-monsoon season and Central-East and Northeast India (CENEI) during the monsoon season have been verified using lightning observations from the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) Lightning Detection Network (LDN). The persisting systematic negative bias in deterministic and EPS-based forecasts of the ensemble mean (EnsMean) and ensemble maximum (EnsMax) indicate the lack of spread among the members, supported by the low values of ensemble spread over all the study regions. EnsMean has the lowest RMSE, with a decrease in error ranging from 0.8 % to 2.18 % compared to CNTL. Categorical skill scores indicate that the EPS-based forecasts (EnsMean and EnsMax) are more skillful than the deterministic forecast at all thresholds and lead times. Further, Fractions Skill Score (FSS) establishes the superiority of the ensemble forecasts over the deterministic forecasts, where for threshold &gt;1, EnsMean is skillful at comparatively smaller neighborhood sizes (ENEI and PI ∼68 km; CENEI ∼36 km for day-1) than CNTL (ENEI-116 km; PI-196 km; CENEI-68 km). EnsMax at higher thresholds (&gt;5 and &gt;10) is skillful at lesser neighborhood sizes ranging from 116 to 276 km compared to CNTL (&gt;401 km) for day-1. Hence, skillful re-scaled EPS forecasts based on FSS could provide better guidance for the forecasters. The Continuous Ranked Probability Score of EPS forecasts is lower by around 9 % than the Mean Absolute Error of CNTL forecasts, and the ROC of EPS shows better discrimination of events and non-events compared to CNTL.

However, Nepal's extreme topography and organizational challenges have led to uneven distribution of meteorological stations and inconsistent data quality. Moreover, CMIP6-based climate extremes projections for the entire country are currently unavailable. To tackle these challenges, we developed a comprehensive national database for Nepal, offering high-resolution historical and projected precipitation and temperature data analyzed through 25 climate extreme indices from the Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (ETCCDI). Initially, observation grid data were prepared at a daily timescale with a spatial resolution of 0.05° × 0.05° for baseline period (1981–2010) using the Asian Precipitation High-Resolved Observational Data Integration Toward Evaluation (APHRODITE), the fifth generation of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis (ERA5), and available good quality observed climate data. This data was then utilized to downscale and bias-correct 18 CMIP6 GCMs for 2015–2100 under four SSPs (1–2.6, 2–4.5, 3–7.0, 5–8.5). Quantile mapping was employed for the bias correction of the CMIP6 GCMs. The performance of the multimodal ensemble (MME) indicated better Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE), root mean square error ratio (RSR), and Percent Bias (PBIAS) of climate extreme indices for the historical period. A comparative analysis was conducted across Nepal's major geographic regions to account for spatial variability in regional climate systems.

This study highlights the instability in the relationship between El Niño and Meiyu, particularly during normal El Niño (NEN) decay years, where the probability of more or less Meiyu is almost equal by statistical analysis. Using the Liang-Kleeman information flow (LIF), our findings confirm that warming in the Maritime Continent (MC) induced by SEN leads to tropical North Atlantic warming in boreal spring. This suppresses northwest Pacific convection via Kevin waves and forms the north-south dipole mode of the NWPAC (EOF2), corresponding to strong Meiyu. Moreover, it is found that subtropical North Pacific cooling induced by NEN leads to the tropical North Atlantic warming in boreal spring via Pacific North American (PNA) pattern, reinforcing the region-wide consistent mode of the NWPAC (EOF1) via Rossby waves and resulting in strong Meiyu. Conversely, warming in the tropical North Atlantic induced by NEN in boreal early summer leads to anticyclonic circulation over the east of Japan (EOF3) and weak Meiyu.
