In representing the transport of ocean properties such as heat or salinity, the smaller, more complex details may matter significantly according to researchers funded in part by the Climate Variability & Predictability (CVP) program. 

Researchers funded by both the CPO Climate Variability & Predictability (CVP) program and the Modeling, Analysis, Predictions and Projections (MAPP) program rank the performance of over 30 CMIP5/6 climate models in reproducing observed atmosphere-sea ice relationships.

In order to pinpoint the origins of precipitation biases in the most recent version of global climate models a team of researchers funded in part by CPO’s Climate Variability & Predictability (CVP) program developed a new framework to study the moisture budgets of the newest generation of global climate model simulations. 

New study by researchers supported by CPO’s Climate Variability & Predictability (CVP) program investigates how the wet and dry seasons of the Maritime Continent impact daily precipitation cycles in the region. 

The study, funded in part by CPO’s Climate Variability & Predictability (CVP) program, investigates the dynamic processes that influence submesoscale fronts in the Northwest Pacific subtropical counter-current (STCC) system.
