Skillful seasonal predictions of the California Current sea surface temperature possible, study says
A seasonal multi-model forecast system can produce skillful predictions of sea surface temperature in the CaliforniaCurrent System up to 4 months in advance, according to a new study published in ...
A study published on Nature Climate Change reports that natural variability could be responsible for up to 50 percent of the September Arctic sea ice decline since 1979. The findings of the study do…
A study published as an early online release on Global Biogeochemical Cycles shows the value of calibrated biogeochemical floats for providing data measurements of surface ocean partial pressure of …
A study in the Journal of Climate proposes a new method to improve simulation and prediction of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) . Many models have limited skill in simulating the MJO’s eastward …
Through new NOAA-funded research, scientists found that NOAA’s operational seasonal prediction model can produce skillful forecasts of U.S. temperature and precipitation 3-4 weeks in advance. A ...
A paper appearing as an early online release in the Journal of Climate documents research on sea ice to understand essential processes in the climate system and other ecological systems. Researchers…
NOAA-funded scientists found that warmer than normal ocean temperatures, rather than air temperatures, cause periods of rapid ice sheet calving known as Heinrich events. For decades, Heinrich events…
A CPO-supported study in Geophysical Research Letters highlights modeling techniques that may enhance predictability of decadal climate change. The approach involves novel techniques for modeling ...
