TL;DR: In this article, the numerical simulations of sea-salt aerosol (SSA) were compared with ground-based measurements taken at the tiny Mediterranean island of Lampedusa, Italy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Fujiwhara effect was applied to two neighboring cyclonic vortices isolated from external forcing predicts the following features: rotation in a cyclonic sense at a rate directly proportional to the sum of the cyclones' intensities and inversely to the square of their separation, with the weaker cyclone rotating faster than the more intense one.

TL;DR: It is suggested that Israel and Palestine function as one epidemiological unit, due to extensive border crossing of inhabitants and tourists, resulting in cross-border infections and potential for outbreaks' transmission, and that lessons from the current crisis can inform regional adaptation to climate change.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate the stratospheric radiative heating rates from volcanic eruption using the analysis increments of the temperatures from atmospheric re-analyses, and apply the method to the 30 hPa temperature from the 15 years of the ECMWF-reanalysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate two typical but different events: a frequent event in which the surface specific humidity (SH) steeply decreases and surface temperature increases during MSB penetration by ~40% and 1.2°C, respectively; and a less frequent event, with almost the opposite behavior, an increase of surface SH by ~20%.
