There has been little systematic analysis of the influence of the three‐step staircase topography on the characteristics of precipitation along latitude 30°N in East Asia. After the distribution of atmospheric climate states over East Asia was analysed, in this study, the climatological characteristics of summer convective and stratiform precipitation on horizontal distribution, vertical structure, and diurnal variation in Eas...

When sea ice acts on vertical structures, there are much higher pressures in localized areas known as high-pressure zones (HPZs) than in other areas. The damage failure mode of sea ice varies with the sea ice velocity and affects the distribution of HPZs. In this study, an indentation test that drives ice sheet interaction with a vertical rigid plate (indentor) was designed, and a pressure sensor (consisting of 32 × 32 small p...

Although explosive cyclones (ECs) have long been a focus of research, there remains a lack of knowledge of the statistical characteristics of their associated maximum surface winds and vertical extents. This study fills this gap by conducting a targeted statistical analysis of ECs in the Northern Hemisphere using the ERA‐I reanalysis data during a 40‐year period. Some new findings are obtained: (a) The average location of form...
