Newly published research in Geophysical Research Letters by Boucharel et al.–and supported by CPO’s Climate Variability and Predictability program–seeks to understand these modes of expression, or “flavors,” of El Niño, and their influence on tropical cyclones.
A paper supported by both CPO’s MAPP and ESS programs focuses on advances and challenges in understanding and projecting regional climate change. The paper will appear on the cover of the October issue of Nature Climate Change, but was published early online on Sept. 7, 2015.
