Published in Journal of Climate, Karnauskas (2025) re-examined a collection of historical estimates made since 1961, as well as drifters and other modern observations and state estimates, to provide new constraints on this key variable.

Shackelford et al. (2025) present a framework for identifying state-dependent prediction skill using neural networks and self-organizing maps (SOMs), and offer an example application to prediction of North Atlantic atmospheric circulation.

Check out the newly published report from the Ocean Model Development, Data-driven Parameterization, and Machine-Learning in Ocean Models of the Earth System workshop. This workshop was a joint effort between CLIVAR/ COMMODORE, and took place September 9-12, 2024.

Guest editors Charlotte DeMott (Colorado State University) and Aneesh Subramanian (University of Colorado) along with invited authors spotlight emerging science and evolving needs in tropical Pacific observations critical for advancing Earth system predictions in this new edition of Variations: Needs and prospects for advancing tropical Pacific observations of the ocean and atmosphere.

The Confronting Earth System Model Trends with Observations workshop report is published. The report evaluates how well models capture observed trends across various aspects of the climate system, identifies key research challenges, and recommends next steps to address them.
