Decadal prediction: Can it be skillful?
A new field of study, "decadal prediction," is emerging in climate science. Decadal prediction lies between seasonal/interannual forecasting and longer-term climate change...- publication PDF

When will humanity notice its influence on Atmospheric Rivers?
Quantifying the response of atmospheric rivers (ARs) to radiative forcing is challenging due to uncertainties caused by internal climate variability, differences in shared...- publication PDF

ENSO's changing influence on temperature, precipitation, and wildfire in a...
On interannual to decadal time scales, the climate mode with many of the strongest societal impacts is the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO). However, quantifying ENSO's...- publication PDF
