This study provides a new winter Arctic sea-ice dataset of penetration-aware emission properties from satellite microwave observations for 2012–2025. It offers physically interpretable information on how snow-covered sea ice emits microwave radiation, helping to describe the Arctic sea-ice environment as a multivariate geophysical system. The dataset can serve as reusable geophysical information for characterizing sea-ice variability and supporting remote sensing and modelling applications.

Heavy rain in South China often strikes suddenly far from weather fronts and is hard to forecast. Using five years of radar wind data and rainfall records from Guangdong, we studied 226 events and found warning signs one to four hours before onset that differ by region. In the west, strengthening low-level winds drive the rain; in the Pearl River Delta, friction reshapes the surface wind; in the east, warm surface air stores energy that fuels the storm.

Characterizing organic aerosol (OA) molecular composition, sources and toxicity in the North China Plain remains difficult. Through comprehensive online and offline measurements in Weifang, a representative medium-sized city, we identify combustion-derived OA with a moderate oxidation state as the key drivers of oxidative potential (OP). These insights are critical for health risk assessments amidst the region’s ongoing reduction in particulate mass due to emission controls.

We developed a three-dimensional wind dataset for the Yangtze River Delta with hourly information at one-kilometer resolution for the summers from 2021 to 2023. Using atmospheric modeling combined with ground observations and land surface data, the dataset represents local wind behavior more accurately than existing products. It supports studies of extreme weather, air pollution transport, wind energy planning, and low-altitude airspace safety in rapidly urbanizing regions.

We developed a new technique to assimilate satellite visible reflectance. By testing our technique on a heavy rainfall event, we found that it significantly reduces errors in cloud water estimates and enhances light precipitation forecasts. This data assimilation also better improved thin clouds. This advancement helps increase the accuracy of weather predictions in situations where clouds and rain play a major role.

The radiative effect of black carbon (BC) is substantially modulated by its mixing state, which is challenging to derive physically with a single-particle soot photometer. This study establishes a machine-learning-based inversion model which can accurately and efficiently acquire the BC mixing state. Compared to the widely used leading-edge-only method, our model utilizes a broader scattering signal coverage to more accurately capture diverse particle characteristics.

Black carbon (BC) affects climate and the environment, and its aging process alters its properties. Current models, like WRF-CMAQ, lack full accounting for it. We developed the WRF-CMAQ-BCG model to better represent BC aging by introducing bare and coated BC species and their conversion. The WRF-CMAQ-BCG model introduces the capability to simulate BC mixing states and bare and coated BC wet deposition, and it improves the accuracy of BC mass concentration and aerosol optics.

Black carbon (BC) exerts notable warming effects. We use a particle-resolved model to investigate the long-term behavior of the BC mixing state, revealing its compositions, coating thickness distribution, and optical properties all stabilize with a characteristic time of less than 1 d. This study can effectively simplify the description of the BC mixing state, which facilitates the precise assessment of the optical properties of BC aerosols in global and chemical transport models.

This study introduces a cloud property retrieval method which integrates traditional radiative transfer simulations with a machine learning method. Retrievals from a machine learning algorithm are used to provide a priori states, and a radiative transfer model is used to create lookup tables for later iteration processes. The new method combines the advantages of traditional and machine learning algorithms, and it is applicable to both daytime and nighttime conditions.

Sea surface temperature (SST) is vital in climate, weather, and ocean sciences because it influences air–sea interactions. Errors in the ECMWF model's scheme for predicting ocean skin temperature prompted a revision of the ocean mixed layer model. Validation against infrared measurements and buoys showed a good correlation with minimal deviations. The revised model accurately simulates SST variations and aligns with solar radiation distributions, showing promise for weather and climate models.

Brown carbon (BrC), a light-absorbing aerosol, plays a pivotal role in influencing global climate. However, assessing BrC radiative effects remains challenging because the required observational data are hardly accessible. Here we develop a new BrC radiative effect estimation method combining conventional observations and numerical models. Our findings reveal that BrC absorbs up to a third of the sunlight at 370 nm that black carbon does, highlighting its importance in aerosol radiative effects.

Aerosols reduce surface solar radiation and change the photolysis rate and planetary boundary layer stability. In this study, the online coupled meteorological and chemistry model was used to explore the detailed pathway of how aerosol direct effects affect secondary inorganic aerosol. The effects through the dynamics pathway act as an equally or even more important route compared with the photolysis pathway in affecting secondary aerosol concentration in both summer and winter.

This paper proposes a method for evaluating canopy UHI intensity (CUHII) at high resolution by using remote sensing data and machine learning with a random forest (RF) model. The spatial distribution of CUHII was evaluated at 30 m resolution based on the output of the RF model. The present RF model framework for real-time monitoring and assessment of high-resolution CUHII provides scientific support for studying the changes and causes of CUHII.

A random forest (RF) model framework for Fengyun-4A (FY-4A) daytime and nighttime quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) is established using FY-4A multi-band spectral information, cloud parameters, high-density precipitation observations and physical quantities from reanalysis data. The RF model of FY-4A QPE has a high accuracy in estimating precipitation at the heavy-rain level or below, which has advantages for quantitative estimation of summer precipitation over East Asia in future.

Short summary
A typhoon is a high-impact atmospheric phenomenon that causes most significant socioeconomic damage, and its precipitation observation is always needed for typhoon characteristics and disaster prevention. This study developed a typhoon precipitation fusion method to combine observations from satellite radiometers, rain gauges and reanalysis to provide much improved typhoon precipitation datasets.
