Accurately simulating AEWs is critical to predicting Atlantic tropical cyclones and hurricanes, but new research supported by the Climate Variability and Predictability program, and accepted for publication in the Journal of Climate, demonstrates several shortcomings in CMIP5 models preventing accurate representation of AEWs.
Please join us from 2-3PM EDT on Wednesday, September 30th for the next Decadal Variability and Predictability webinar, featuring presentations on Scale Interaction in Decadal Variability in the Upper Tropical Pacific and on Predictability of Pacific Decadal Variability.
