How Well do CMIP6 Models Represent Important Wind Flow in the Boundary Layer? 19 May 2023

How Well do CMIP6 Models Represent Important Wind Flow in the Boundary Layer?

A comparative analysis of CMIP6 models and their representation of wind-turning reveals underestimation across the board, in a new Climate Process Team study supported by CVP.

Using Energy Driven Models to Predict Tropical Rainfall 12 May 2023

Using Energy Driven Models to Predict Tropical Rainfall

Recent modeling study supported by CVP uses an energy flux focus to better understand remote influences on tropical precipitation predictions through 2100.

AMOC Weakening Evidence from Salinity “Fingerprint” in the South Atlantic 5 May 2023

AMOC Weakening Evidence from Salinity “Fingerprint” in the South Atlantic

A recent study funded by CVP identifies a salinity build up in the South Atlantic and provides modeling and observational evidence to link this trend with a weakening of the AMOC since the 1908’s.

Evaluating the Impact of Volcanic Eruptions in Tropical Pacific Climate Models 28 April 2023

Evaluating the Impact of Volcanic Eruptions in Tropical Pacific Climate Models

A new modeling study funded by CVP shows that tropical Pacific climate predictions from the annual to decadal scales are more strongly linked to internal climate signals than volcanic activity when eruptions are occurring.
