A mesoscale study of three severe dust storms over China and Mongolia was conducted using observational and high‐ resolution numerical model data sets. The analysis of these data indicates many commonalities among the three case studies, (a) precursor wind flow across the mountain creating a strong statically stable...

During boreal summer, the polar front jet (PJ) and the subtropical jet (SJ) exhibit regional heterogenous variability that strongly influences climate. However, previous studies have mainly focused on specific regions, with limited attention to a hemispheric perspective. In this study, we investigate the concurrent var...

Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are critical sources of precipitation in tropical West Africa, yet their behavior changes dramatically as they transition from land to the eastern Atlantic. This study investigates the mechanisms governing this coastal transition by analyzing an MCS observed on 14 September 2022, u...

The Congo Air Boundary (CAB) is a synoptic-scale dryline and convergence zone that is a defining feature of the southern African tropical-edge climate from August to November, playing a central role in both the timing of rainfall onset and projections of regional drying. Here we present the first detailed observati...

This study investigates the influence of bottom topography on the development of instabilities in Gulf-Stream-like jets using a two-layer quasi-geostrophic model. The approach combines a linear stability analysis with nonlinear numerical simulations to examine the formation of baroclinic instabilities and coherent stru...

We examined the evolution of shallow convective structures in the atmospheric boundary layer in response to changes in the basic state. Idealized numerical experiments were designed to reflect a typical winter monsoonal environment with prescribed sea surface temperatures (SSTs) varying from 273 to 287 K. The results s...
