Interpretable Deep Learning Approach Reveals the Critical Role of Sea Surface Salinity in Long-Lead ENSO Forecasting
Recent advancements in climate modeling have uncovered the pivotal role of Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) in enhancing long-lead ENSO forecasting. Utilizing a deep learning model have extended the ENSO forecast lead time to 24 months, emphasizing post-2000 El Niño events.
Change of El Niño onset location around 1970
A marked interdecadal shift of El Niño onset location occurred around 1970, that is, El Niño started its warming in eastern Pacific before 1970 but in western Pacific after 1970. The current study reveals the role of the interdecadal mean state change in causing the El Niño onset location shift.
Changes in the seasonality and regionality of tornadoes in the United States
The occurrence of U.S. tornadoes, and tornado outbreaks, have exhibited significant changes both temporally and spatially.
Synergistic effect of boreal autumn SST over the tropical and South Pacific and winter NAO on winter precipitation in the southern Europe
Changes in precipitation have significant impact on society. Winter precipitation over southern Europe (SEWP) is strongly modulated by winter NAO. However, not all the negative NAO contributes to an increase in SEWP, and its synergistic effect with other factors on SEWP need to be considered.
