Combining satellite and regional numerical weather prediction effectively enhances the ability to forecast solar radiation

Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Recently, researchers from the Institute of Urban Meteorology, China Meteorological Administration, have combined data from the Fengyun-4B satellite with the regional numerical forecast model RMAPS-ST to develop a 0–6 hour ultra-short-term global horizontal irradiance forecasting system for China.

“By correcting initial cloud fields with real-time satellite data, we essentially gave the forecast system a ‘live cloud map’. This is not only a technical breakthrough but also provides a practical tool for grid scheduling and China’s dual-carbon strategy.”“By correcting initial cloud fields with real-time satellite data, we essentially gave the forecast system a ‘live cloud map’.

New study uncovers the lingering, evolving threat of "thirdhand smoke" in our homes

Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences
Peer-Reviewed Publication

While the dangers of secondhand smoke are widely recognized, a new study reveals a more persistent and stealthier hazard hiding in our indoor spaces: "Thirdhand Smoke." This residue, which lingers on surfaces long after a cigarette is put out, is not just a stale smell but a dynamic source of continuous air pollution.

Study quantifies ‘hot drought’ impact: 2025 Los Angeles wildfire risk amplified by up to 210%

Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences
Peer-Reviewed Publication

As the one-year anniversary of the devastating early January 2025 wildfires in Los Angeles approaches, a pressing question remains: what made these fires, among the most destructive in the region's history, so extreme? New research now provides a quantifiable answer, pinpointing the critical role of combined high temperatures and drought conditions.
