Performance of the operational CMA-MESO in China at convection-permitting resolution was evaluated

CMA-MESO can well reproduce the distribution and propagation of precipitation, but overestimates precipitation in eastern coastal areas

Overestimation of low-level wind speed is the main reason for the overestimation of precipitation in eastern coastal areas

Forests increase the amount of low clouds in Europe

Forests impact climate beyond carbon sequestration

Dropsondes over the northwest Atlantic are used to determine mixed layer height (MLH) and boundary layer height (PBLH)

HSRL-2 lidar MLH product compares well with dropsonde-derived MLH but does not correspond to PBLH for decoupled PBL

The current operational HSRL-2 algorithm is modified to include retrieval of the PBLH for decoupled PBL

The role of galactic cosmic rays for the detectability of solar proton events in Beryllium-10 ice core records was studied in a 3D-model

We show that sedimentation can be a major deposition mechanism for Beryllium-10, especially at high latitudes

The seasonal timing of the solar proton event and the phase of the 11-year solar cycle during the event have an impact on its detectability

Multi-source precipitation estimates captured the annual to weekly precipitation cycle, but only roughly captured the spatial pattern

Multi-source precipitation estimates performed poorly in estimating extreme precipitation and struggled over complex terrain

Among high-resolution datasets, TPMFD has the potential to be used as a reference dataset for sub-seasonal to seasonal model evaluation

Air pollutants and remote sensing radiation used for estimation of gas flaring volume

Thermal infrared bands of Landsat 8 showed the most important role in GF volume estimation

NO₂ showed more significant role in GF volume estimation compared to others pollutants

In tandem with the continuous decrease in aerosol, low-cloud droplets became fewer and larger over the western North Atlantic

Despite concurrent changes in aerosol and low-cloud optical properties, surface shortwave irradiance lacked reciprocal significant trends

Meteorological fields—temperature and humidity—correlated with the North Atlantic Oscillation had changed, exhibiting tripolar patterns

The Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) is a prominent pacemaker for variability, accounting for about 1/3 of the shortwave flux year-to-year variability over NH continents

A negative PDO anomaly leads to a reduction in atmospheric shortwave reflectivity (clouds) in North America and Europe and an increase in India

The redistribution of clouds in response to a North Pacific PDO anomaly might influence SSTs in the South Pacific and North Atlantic

The temporal and spatial preferences of afternoon precipitation over soil moisture anomalies over the Tibetan Plateau are investigated

Precipitation preferentially occurs over antecedent soil that is wetter than normal and wetter than the surrounding soils

Soil moisture changes the surface energy partitioning and affects subsequent precipitation by adjusting the atmospheric boundary layer
