Fronts, eddies, jets, and meanders populate the ocean surface and play a key role in organizing transport and mixing across a wide range of scales. From a Lagrangian perspective, frontal structures are conveniently detected as surface filaments that act as bar...

Rainfall forecasts over the Western Himalaya remain poor, and the relative contributions of the cumulus and microphysics parameterizations to that error are not well constrained.

We present HiRO-ACEv2 (High Resolution Output Ai2 Climate Emulator), a two-stage framework for AI emulation of the 3~km resolution X-SHiELD global storm-resolving model (GSRM), and highlight its ability to generate large ensembles of data for studying the char...

The Hybrid forecast covariance model is an operationally successful way to build a background error covariance matrix. It is constructed as a weighted sum, with scalar weights, of the climatological covariance matrix and a localized ensemble covariance matrix,...

Many approaches have recently been proposed to combine data assimilation with machine learning for improved forecasts with geophysical models. Here, we focus on combining advanced sequential data assimilation schemes with a generative forecasting model which a...

Global reanalyses are too coarse to resolve the convective systems that produce most West African monsoon rainfall. In this work, we use U-Net based architectures to downscale daily ERA5 fields (0.25°) to IMERG V07 satellite precipitation (0.1°) over West Afri...

A potentially super El Niño is forecasted in 2026, raising the need to anticipate land carbon-cycle risks before its impacts unfold. We develop a prospective early-warning framework that uses dynamic global vegetation models driven by an ensemble of ECMWF seas...

This work investigates the incidence of rapid ice-loss events in the Arctic, in which a substantial fraction of September sea-ice is lost in only a few years. Such events are seen to occur in climate model simulations forced with increasing greenhouse gas conc...

Ensemble forecasts from the ECMWF's Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) and the Artificial Intelligence Forecasting System (AIFS-ENS) are compared using a multi-dimensional evaluation framework. Within this framework, the uncertainty is interpreted as the line...

We present two and three dimensional direct numerical simulations of planar intrusions injected from a continuously supplied, narrow source into a linearly stratified ambient at the level of neutral buoyancy. The evolution passes through three phases. A lamina...

A long-standing challenge in climate science since the Charney Report in 1979 is to determine how much the Earth's climate warms in response to a unit external energy input at the top of the atmosphere (TOA). In this study, we show from first principles that t...
