Seasonal predictions of summer compound humid heat extremes in the southeastern United States driven by sea surface temperatures

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
Humid heat extreme (HHE) is a type of compound extreme weather event that poses severe risks to human health. Skillful forecasts of HHE months in advance are crucial for developing strategies to enhance community resilience to extreme events1,2.

Quantifying sources of subseasonal prediction skill in CESM2

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
Subseasonal prediction fills the gap between weather forecasts and seasonal outlooks. There is evidence that predictability on subseasonal timescales comes from a combination of atmosphere, land, and ocean initial conditions. Predictability from the land

A very likely weakening of Pacific Walker Circulation in constrained near-future projections

Nature Communications, 2021
How the Pacific Walker circulation (PWC) changes under climate change is not well understood. Here, the authors show that the strengthening of the PWC since 1979 is related to internal variability of the Pacific and use this as a constraint to show that ...

When is a trend meaningful? Insights to carbon cycle variability from an initial-condition large ensemble

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
Internal climate variability (ICV) creates a range of climate trajectories, which are superimposed upon the forced response. A single climate model realization may not represent forced change alone and may diverge from other realizations, as well as ...

The Flexible Global Ocean‐Atmosphere‐Land System Model Grid‐Point Version 3 (FGOALS‐g3): Description and Evaluation

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2020
This paper introduces the Flexible Global Ocean‐Atmosphere‐Land System Model: Grid‐Point Version 3 (FGOALS‐g3) and evaluates its basic performance based on some of its participation in the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6 ...

Climate-model induced differences in the 21st century global and regional glacier contributions to sea-level rise

, 2013
The large uncertainty in future global glacier volume projections partly results from a substantial range in future climate conditions projected by global climate models. This study addresses the effect of global and regional differences in climate input

Role of Tropical Cyclones in Determining ENSO Characteristics

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) can effectively modulate global tropical cyclone (TC) activity, but the role TCs may play in determining ENSO characteristics remains unclear.

A new, high-resolution surface mass balance map of Antarctica (1979-2010) based on regional atmospheric climate modeling

, 2012
A new, high resolution (27 km) surface mass balance (SMB) map of the Antarctic ice sheet is presented, based on output of a regional atmospheric climate model that includes snowdrift physics and is forced by the most recent reanalysis data from the ...

Towards quantifying the contribution of the Antarctic ice sheet to global sea level change

, 2006
At present, the mass balance of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) and its contribution to global sea level change are poorly known. Current methods to determine AIS mass balance as well as the inherent uncertainties are discussed.

Accelerated mass loss from Greenland ice sheet: Links to atmospheric circulation in the North Atlantic [PDF]

, 2015
Understanding the mechanisms that drive the mass imbalance of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) is critical to the accurate projection of its contribution to future sea level rise. Greenland's ice mass loss has been accelerating recently.
