Marshall (2015) The role of ocean gateways in the dynamics and sensitivity to wind stress of the early Antarctic Circumpolar Current Paleoceanography DOI: 10.1002/2014PA002675 Abstract The date of inception of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is debated due to uncertainty in the relative opening times of Drake […]
New publication: Impact of hindcast length on estimates of seasonal climate predictability
Posted on 24th February 2015
W. Shi, N. Schaller, D. MacLeod, T.N. Palmer and A. Weisheimer (2015) Impact of hindcast length on estimates of seasonal climate predictability Geophysical Research Letters DOI: 10.1002/2014GL062829 Abstract It has recently been argued that single-model seasonal forecast ensembles are overdispersive, implying that the real world is more predictable than indicated by estimates of so-called perfect-model […]

New publication: Deconstructing the climate change response of the Northern Hemisphere wintertime storm tracks
Posted on 11th February 2015
B. J. Harvey, L. C. Shaffrey, T. J. Woollings (2015) Deconstructing the climate change response of the Northern Hemisphere wintertime storm tracks Climate Dynamics DOI 10.1007/s00382-015-2510-8 Abstract There are large uncertainties in the circulation response of the atmosphere to climate change. One manifestation of this is the substantial spread in projections for the extratropical storm […]
