We present the NEFOCAST project (named by the contraction of “Nefele”, which is the Italian spelling for the mythological cloud nymph Nephele, and “forecast”), funded by the Tuscany Region, about the feasibility of a system for the detection and monitoring of precipitation fields over the regional territory based on…

Rainfall is an important element of the earth’s climate system and it influences water resources, ecosystems, agriculture and human livelihoods depend on it. Rainfall trends vary around the world, with some regions experiencing increased rainfall intensity and frequency while others face prolonged drought leading to a…

'Nicole Albern' 'Marvin Kähnert' 'Andrea Dahl' 'Valentin Louf' 'Stephan Bakan' 'Stefan A. Buehler'] OceanRAIN-the Ocean Rainfall And Ice-phase precipitation measurement Network-provides in-situ along-track shipboard data of precipitation, evaporation and the resulting freshwater flux at 1-min resolution over the global…

'Leonor Rodríguez-Sinobas' 'Wonsuk (Daniel) Lee'] Tipping bucket rain gauges (TBRs) continue to be one of the most widely used pieces of equipment for rainfall monitoring; they are frequently used for the calibration, validation, and downscaling of radar and remote sensing data, due to their major advantages-low cost…

Rainfall feedback results from the sensitivity of atmospheric processes to environmental conditions that are generated by a preceding rainfall event. Feedback that is persistent over several weeks is most likely due to environmental phenomena that involve growth and therefore most probably involves aerosols of…

'Stefan Winkler'] Abstract—In recent years, there has been growing interest in using Precipitable Water Vapor (PWV) derived from Global Positioning System (GPS) signal delays to predict rainfall. However, the occurrence of rainfall is dependent on a myriad of atmospheric parameters. This paper proposes a systematic…

In the present study, seven-year-long observations of rain microphysical properties are presented using a ground-based disdrometer located at Braemore; a site on the windward slope of the Western Ghats (WG) over the Indian Peninsula. The annual cycle of rainfall shows a bimodal distribution with a primary peak during…

Rain affects the buoyancy of the upper ocean in two ways: The freshwater flux in rain makes the water fresher and lighter, stabilizing the ocean (a negative buoyancy flux). The convective systems that produce rain are often accompanied by cold, dry air, often called 'cold pools', and reduced short-wave radiation, which…

- We present general methods to calculate raindrop shape, speed, and evaporation rate in diverse planetary atmospheres - We define a dimensionless number that we show can closely capture the behavior of raindrop evaporation - Maximum stable raindrop size is relatively insensitive to condensible species and atmospheric…

For over a century, raindrop size distributions have been a subject of extensive scientific study, typically described by models including the Marshall–Palmer exponential equation, gamma, Weibull, lognormal and other mathematical functions. In this work, we present a theory that integrates deterministic principles from…

Tropical landscape regeneration affects hydrological ecosystem functioning by regulating the amount of water that reaches the soil surface and changing soil infiltration rates. This affects the recharge and storage of water in the soil and streamflow responses. Therefore, it is important to assess how the fraction of…

In forest ecosystems, the transport of organic matter including microbial cells by throughfall and stemflow represents a central linkage between the phyllosphere and soil. However, the extent and taxon-specificity of rainwater-mediated vertical transfer of microorganisms, and its relevance for matter fluxes is sparsely…

Ethiopia is a rain fed agriculture country, which is subjected to high climate variability in space and time, leading to hydrological extremes causing loss of life and property more frequently. Droughts are more common and sometime floods are experienced in various parts of the country. Being a tropical country, the…

Extreme weather events increasingly threaten coastal water quality, yet the mechanisms by which tropical cyclones impair microbial conditions remain poorly quantified. We develop a Large Language Model–Assisted Microbial Source Tracking (LAMST) framework to trace the origins of microbial threats—fecal indicator…

The ubiquity of microplastics in the marine environment has been highlighted in recent years, yet the extent of microplastics pollution in coastal areas, especially off the coast of Japan, remains unclear. Here we provide a comprehensive dataset of microplastic pollution in surface water and sediment around coastal…
