Subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) prediction of atmospheric rivers in the Northern Winter - npj Climate and Atmospheric Science

Nov 6, 2024 | nature.com | Wei Zhang |Baoqiang Xiang |Nathaniel Johnson |Tom Delworth

AbstractAtmospheric rivers (ARs) are characterized by intense lower tropospheric plumes of moisture transport that are frequently responsible for midlatitude wind and precipitation extremes. The prediction of ARs at subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) timescales is currently at a low level of skill, reflecting a need to improve our understanding of their underlying sources of predictability.
Synchronous Eurasian heat extremes tied to boreal summer combined extratropical intraseasonal waves - npj Climate and Atmospheric Science

Jul 16, 2024 | nature.com | JING YANG |Tao Zhu |Frederic Vitart |Bin Wang |Baoqiang Xiang

AbstractHeat extremes frequently hit different regions synchronously during boreal summer over the Eurasian continent. A remarkable coupling is first revealed between Eurasian heat extreme occurrence and individual extratropical intraseasonal oscillation (EISO). Further, the combined EISOs facilitate and largely increase the occurrence probabilities of synchronous Eurasian heat extremes.
