Regional information in the CPO co-led U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit can help people find relevant information about potential climate hazards and options for addressing them.
Building on decades of progress in El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) modeling, researchers have developed a new model that provides accurate ENSO forecasts as much as 16–18 months in advance.
Seasonal predictions may be routine, “subseasonal” predictions are more difficult. The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), a large complex of tropical thunderstorms, dominates subseasonal phenomena over the tropics. A new global atmosphere-ocean-land-sea ice coupled climate model shows an average MJO prediction skill of 30 days, placing it among the world’s best MJO prediction models.
El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is centered around the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. But a new study finds that interactions between the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Ocean basins affect the predictability of sea surface temperature in the tropics.
Sharks, seals, birds, and fish count among predator species in the Northeastern Pacific that are ecologically, culturally, and commercially valuable. A new study shows how marine heatwaves affect predators differently.
To plan for and prevent mosquito-borne disease outbreaks, the impact of climate on the presence of mosquitos and viruses is one of the most important pieces of information for decision makers in ...
