Description
An annual survey of the physics.ao-ph arXiv category, covering research published from September 2025 – August 2026. Built on a close-reading set of 100 papers and organised into 32 chapters, it maps the year by the field's research sub-directions.
Book framework (share of the year's output):
- Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics Fundamentals (84.7%) — Investigates fundamental physical processes, spectroscopy, and wave dynamics in atmospheric and oceanic systems.
- Machine Learning for Climate and Weather Forecasting (8.3%) — Applies deep learning and AI techniques to improve global and regional weather prediction and climate modeling.
- Ocean-Atmosphere Interaction and Climate Variability (3.9%) — Examines the role of ocean circulation, sea surface temperature, and tropical dynamics in climate variability and extreme events.
- Data Assimilation and Reanalysis Methodologies (1.0%) — Develops advanced data assimilation frameworks and reanalysis products to handle sparse observations and complex spatiotemporal dynamics.
- Remote Sensing for Extreme Event Monitoring (1.0%) — Utilizes satellite and remote sensing data for the accurate detection and monitoring of extreme precipitation and weather events.
- Internal Waves and Ocean Dynamics (0.8%) — Studies the propagation, interaction, and turbulence of internal gravity waves and large-scale ocean dynamics.
- Turbulence and Boundary Layer Dynamics (0.3%) — Analyzes turbulent flow structures, boundary conditions, and transitional flows in oceanic and atmospheric contexts.
Each sub-direction is covered across three chapters — how it framed its questions, the strength of its key findings, and its open debates and frontiers — so the reader gets a traceable picture of what this part of the field actually produced over the year.
