Ocean-atmosphere feedbacks key to NAO decadal predictability

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
Evidence has emerged that the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) may be predictable on decadal timescales, which may greatly benefit society given the significant climate impacts that accompany the NAO.

Precipitation changes in the Mediterranean basin during the Holocene from terrestrial and marine pollen records: a model–data comparison [PDF]

, 2017
Climate evolution of the Mediterranean region during the Holocene exhibits strong spatial and temporal variability. The spatial differentiation and temporal variability, as evident from different climate proxy datasets, has remained notoriously difficult

The role of upper-ocean heat content in the regional variability of Arctic sea ice at sub-seasonal timescales [PDF]

The Cryosphere
In recent decades, the Arctic Ocean has undergone changes associated with enhanced poleward inflow of Atlantic and Pacific waters and increased heat flux exchange with the atmosphere in seasonally ice-free regions.
