英文摘要 | The destructive power of tropical cyclones is driven by latent heat released from water condensation and is inevitably linked to the abundance of aerosols as cloud condensation nuclei. However, the aerosol effects are unaccounted for in most operational hurricane forecast models. We combined multi‐source measurements and cloud‐resolving model simulations to show fundamentally altered cloud microphysical and thermodynamic processes by anthropogenic aerosols during Hurricane Harvey. Our observations reveal intense lightning and precipitation in the proximity of Houston industrial areas, and these hotspots exhibit a striking geographic similarity to a decadal climatological maximum of lightning flash density in the south‐central U.S. Our ensemble cloud‐resolving simulations of Hurricane Harvey indicate that anthropogenic aerosols can increase precipitation and lightning by a factor of 2 in the Houston urban area, unraveling the key factor in regulating flooding during this weather extreme. |
