New perspectives regarding Gulf Stream and Kuroshio Extension influence on the atmosphere
New research illustrates that the key to recognizing the influence of the Gulf Stream and Kuroshio Extension on the seasonal mean and longer-term climate is through a proper understanding of how the ocean influences atmospheric fronts.
California winter precipitation linked to the Arctic Oscillation
California precipitation is well forecast when the Arctic Oscillation phase is correctly captured by a state-of-the-art forecast system, GloSea5.
The influence of Arctic amplification on mid-latitude summer circulation
Researchers conduct a comprehensive review of research on summer weather stalling, focusing on the influence of Arctic amplification and how it could interact with other factors influenced by climate change.
Pacific influences decadal Indian Ocean heat content via two distinct mechanisms
In two recent papers, Jin and coauthors investigated how decadal variations of subsurface ocean heat content (50–300 m) in the Indian Ocean respond to conditions in the Pacific region.
Global patterns of evaporation and precipitation leave a traceable isotopic fingerprint
A new study shows that a simple linear model that accounts for changes in mean source distance, as well as the local drying ratio, can successfully replicate water isotopic variations in space and time.
Developing Observational Large Ensembles for climate variability
Researchers have developed a complementary approach to creating ensembles for seasonal-average temperature and precipitation over land that can also be used to study internal variability.
