The 106th Annual Meeting of the American Meteorological Society will take place January 25-29, 2026 in Houston, Texas, and online. Featuring sessions on the history, accuracy, and evolution of conceptual models, the theme, "Fast and slow thinking: The human factor in a rapidly changing world," will explore the role of human decision-making in advancing public safety, economic prosperity, and sustainability. Abstract submission deadlines vary by session, with many having a deadline of August 14, 2025.

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.

Learn about the asymmetries in the polar response to anthropogenic climate change and identify actions to reduce projection uncertainties in the Polar Amplification of Climate Change Across Hemispheres and Seasons workshop report.

The US Climate Variability and Predictability (US CLIVAR) Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) is seeking passionate and qualified individuals to join our three dynamic panels: Phenomena, Observations, and Synthesis (POS) Panel, Process Study and Model Improvement (PSMI) Panel, and Predictability, Predictions, and Applications Interface (PPAI) Panel!

The 105th Annual Meeting of the American Meteorological Society will take place January 12-16, 2024 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The theme, "Towards a Thriving Planet: Charting the Course Across Scales," will explore actionable science and forecast improvement at local, regional, and global scales. Abstract submission deadlines vary by session, with many having a deadline of August 15, 2024.
