Fog can disrupt aviation by causing accidents and delays due to low visibility, yet it remains underresearched in Croatia. This study examined fog and mist at Pula Airport using 20 years of data and machine learning techniques. There is a declining trend in fog that is linked to changing weather patterns. Fog mainly occurs from October to March. These findings enhance knowledge about fog in Croatia and can improve weather forecasts, increasing safety at the airport.

We investigate the stability characteristics of lightning discharge channels through their differential resistance properties. Our analysis reveals that lightning channels exhibit bistable behavior, transitioning between low- and high-conductivity states depending on channel length and electric-field conditions. This work provides new insights into lightning channel dynamics and could contribute to improved lightning protection strategies.

 Unequal-weighted ensemble prediction (UWE) using outputs of the dynamic–statistic prediction is presented, and its possible impact factors are also analysed. Results indicate that the UWE has shown promise in improving the prediction skill of summer precipitation in China on account of the fact that UWE can overcome the shortcomings of the structural inadequacy of individual dynamic–statistic predictions, reducing formulation uncertainties and resulting in more stable and accurate predictions.

We have developed a systematic approach to study the climate system at multiple scales using climate networks, which have been previously used to study correlations between time series in space at only a single scale. This new approach is used to upscale precipitation climate networks to study the Indian summer monsoon and to analyze strong dependencies between spatial regions, which change with changing scales.

In recent years, there have been more and more floods due to intense precipitation, such as the July 2021 event in Belgium. Predicting precipitation is a difficult task, even just for the next few hours. This study focuses on a tool that assesses whether a given situation is stable or not (i.e., whether it is likely to stay as it is or could evolve in an unpredictable manner).
