Future Amplification of Moist Weather Extremes in the Midlatitudes
Funing Li, Talia Tamarin-Brodsky
Moist heatwaves and convective storms frequently co-occur, posing compound risks. Although historically concentrated in the tropics, these moist weather extremes are projected to i…

Impacts of Jet Stream Structure on Cyclone Merging and Persistent Anticyclones: Insights from Dry Idealized Simulations
Mingfei Ren, Gan Zhang, Kai-Yuan Cheng +3
Midlatitude jet streams exhibit substantial variability in latitude, width, and vertical depth on synoptic to multi-decadal timescales. While the upper-level dynamics of baroclinic…

Atmospheric stability sets maximum moist heat and convection in the midlatitudes
Funing Li, Talia Tamarin-Brodsky
Extreme near-surface moist heat and severe convective storms are among the leading causes of weather-related damages worldwide. Here, we show that episodes of extreme moist heat an…
