Detection of state-dependent prediction skill using an adaptable, machine learning-based approach

Check out this new Research Highlight, written by Kyle Shackelford (Colorado State University), that summarizes research presented in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres article, A regimes-based approach to identifying seasonal state-dependent prediction skill. 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.
