Flash floods resulting from extreme rainfall pose a major risk to people and infrastructure, especially in urban areas. Higher temperatures due to global climate change affect continuous rainfall and ...

The current work takes a detailed look at two precipitation types: stratiform rainfall that is continuous and uniform in intensity compared to short rain showers typical for thunderstorms.

Stratiform is a different type of precipitation. It can be your classic, gloomy day with nimbostratus clouds that bring widespread, lingering rain. Whether it is a quick burst of storms or steady ...

MID- LEVEL OVERCAST SKIES OVER THE NORTH BAY HAVE KEPT THE ATMOSPHERE MORE STABLE THERE RESULTING IN LIGHT STRATIFORM PRECIPITATION RATHER THAN MORE CONVECTIVE CELLS DEVELOPING. FARTHER SOUTH ...

Over 100 red sprites were captured above the Himalayas in 2022. A study linked them to strong lightning strikes in a large ...

Marine clouds greet the entire coastline Friday morning. Overcast conditions hold through lunchtime before winds start to break up the clouds. Most areas ...

A good estimation of the cloud tops is like the finest gold, especially for pilots flying under IFR during the winter months.

Warming-induced changes in extreme precipitation intensity that exceed the Clausius–Clapeyron scaling rate can be explained by a statistical shift from stratiform to convective precipitation ...
