• Decadal prediction of Sahel rainfall: where does the skill (or lack thereof) come from? 

      Mohino, Elsa; Keenlyside, Noel; Pohlmann, Holger (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-12)
      Previous works suggest decadal predictions of Sahel rainfall could be skillful. However, the sources of such skill are still under debate. In addition, previous results are based on short validation periods (i.e. less than ...
    • Initialization shock in the ocean circulation reduces skill in decadal predictions of the North Atlantic subpolar gyre 

      Polkova, Iuliia; Swingedouw, Didier; Hermanson, Leon; Köhl, Armin; Stammer, Detlef; Smith, Doug; Kröger, Jürgen; Bethke, Ingo; Yang, Xiaosong; Zhang, Liping; Nicolì, Dario; Athanasiadis, Panos J.; Karami, Mehdi Pasha; Pankatz, Klaus; Pohlmann, Holger; Wu, Bo; Bilbao, Roberto; Ortega, Pablo; Yang, Shuting; Sospedra-Alfonso, Reinel; Merryfield, William; Kataoka, Takahito; Tatebe, Hiroaki; Imada, Yukiko; Ishii, Masayoshi; Matear, Richard J. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Due to large northward heat transport, the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) strongly affects the climate of various regions. Its internal variability has been shown to be predictable decades ahead within ...
    • Recent applications and potential of near-term (interannual to decadal) climate predictions

      Following efforts from leading centres for climate forecasting, sustained routine operational near-term climate predictions (NTCP) are now produced that bridge the gap between seasonal forecasts and climate change projections ...
    • WMO Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update A Prediction for 2021-25

      As climate change accelerates, societies and climate-sensitive socioeconomic sectors cannot continue to rely on the past as a guide to possible future climate hazards. Operational decadal predictions offer the potential ...
