Beyond the regional average: Drivers of geographical rainfall variability during East Africa's short rains
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The East African “short rains” from October–December (OND) are crucial for the region's cultural and agricultural landscape. Traditional climate studies have often treated these rains as a single mode, representing the ... -
Developing a methodology for user-oriented verification of polar low forecasts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Polar lows exhibit features with very sharp weather contrasts. In weather forecasting, a small misplacement of areas with hazardously high wind speeds can have fatal impacts for people living in polar regions. Therefore, ... -
Influence of trends on subseasonal temperature prediction skill
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) predictions have a wide range of applications. Improving forecasts on this time-scale has therefore become a major effort. To evaluate their performance, these forecasts are routinely compared ... -
Large‐scale regional model biases in the extra‐tropical North Atlantic storm track and impacts on downstream precipitation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Global climate models have circulation biases that the community aims to reduce, for instance through high‐resolution dynamical downscaling. We used the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) to downscale both ... -
Predictors and prediction skill for marine cold air outbreaks over the Barents Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Marine cold air outbreaks (MCAOs) create conditions for hazardous maritime mesocyclones (polar lows) posing risks to marine infrastructure. For marine management, skilful predictions of MCAOs would be highly beneficial. ... -
The stable atmospheric boundary layer over snow-covered sea ice: Model evaluation with fine-scale ISOBAR18 observations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)A realistic representation of the stable atmospheric boundary layer in numerical weather prediction (NWP) and climate models is still a challenge. We study the evolution of a stable boundary layer over snow-covered sea ice ... -
Synoptic-scale and mesoscale controls for tornadogenesis on cold fronts: Shear-zone vortex-genesis in a developing frontal wave
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)High-resolution model simulations and radar observations are used to investigate the onset of vortex-genesis in a tornadic narrow cold-frontal rain band (NCFR). The timing and location of vortex-genesis was strongly ...
