If you study ENSO and tropical climate interactions, consider submitting to our #AGU24 session! We're excited to have Xian Wu and Shang-Ping Xie as our invited speakers!

Just published in AGU Advances, by a large group of AGU (American Geophysical Union) editors (led by Noah Diffenbaugh). Yes... sometimes we have to contact >20 potential reviewers. 🙃 We discuss other issues, and some optimism. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

OS015: El Niño-Southern Oscillation and Pantropical Climate Interactions: Mechanisms, Predictability, Impacts, and Projections ⁦AGU (American Geophysical Union)⁩ ⁦Shang-Ping Xie⁩ ⁦CLIVAR⁩

Subseasonal (weeks 3-6) forecast is challenging, known as predictability desert. A machine learning model made a big stride, co-led by Bo Lu, a group alum. nature.com/articles/s4146… Skill in predicting the tropical Madden-Julian Oscillation

Heavy summer rainfall from the Yangtze River to Japan is often preceded by El Nino. See our paper “Why East Asian monsoon anomalies are more robust in post El Niño than in post La Niña summers?” nature.com/articles/s4146…

Study by Pengcheng Zhang, Shang-Ping Xie et al. shows that El Niño in the preceding winter has a stronger influence on the East Asian summer #monsoon than La Niña because of the asymmetry in #ENSO evolution. Scripps Institution of Oceanography UC San Diego nature.com/articles/s4146…

A hub of expert articles highlights need for improved simulation of complex climate phenomena at both global and regional levels. Authors include Mat Collins, Dann Mitchell, Prof James Screen, Ed Hawkins, Emily Shuckburgh, Dr Eunice Lo, David Frame DaveFrame, Shang-Ping Xie ⬇️

🚨New paper alert!🚨 Check out our new paper just published in GRL! We show that global climate models can forecast coastal upwelling in the California Current System up to 11 months in advance! 🌊🤙 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

🚨New paper alert!🚨 Excited to share our new paper out now in JClim! We show that future changes in seasonal climate predictability are tightly linked to projected changes in ENSO amplitude. The stronger the ENSO, the more predictable climate becomes! journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/…

Interested in high-resolution modeling and/or seasonal climate predictability? Come check out my poster at #AGU24, Wednesday afternoon (board 0268)! We use model-analogs to generate high-resolution ocean forecasts in the California Current System. agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/meet…

Looking for opportunities to interact with funding managers and the broader climate science community? Consider applying to the US CLIVAR panels! I've been on the PPAI Panel for 5 yrs and it's been a excellent experience. Happy to answer any questions! usclivar.org/2025-call-us-c…

Our new paper shows that greenhouse warming and El Nino are a simple recipe making 2023 & 2024 the hottest years in a row. With a crude RCP4.5 radiative forcing, our tropical Pacific pacemaker simulation reproduced the 2023 warming remarkable well. doi.org/10.1038/s41612…

I’m on the market! Looking for climate/weather analyst positions in the US or Europe. Would also love to connect with folks that have made the leap from academia to industry! Please feel free to DM me and/or check out my LinkedIn.

NPR Short Wave podcast on our modeling work showing that surface warming accelerates upper ocean currents (Peng et al. 2022; doi.org/10.1126/sciadv…), featuring Lynne Talley and Matt Luongo. npr.org/transcripts/12…

Anthropogenic aerosol forcing is perceived as highly uncertain. Our new paper shows that the uncertainty is in the magnitude while the spatial pattern of the climate response is robust across models. doi.org/10.1126/sciadv…
