DOI: 10.1002/joc.5074
Abstract: An important step in developing climate forecasts is the identification of an appropriate set of predictors. Seasonal rainfall forecasts for South Australia (SA) currently have low predictive skill. It is hypothesised that this is because… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2023gl102892
Abstract: Summer streamflow variations strongly affect water supply reliability and ecological functioning of western U.S. (WUS) streams. Traditional snow‐based forecasts of summer streamflow are becoming less accurate with warming‐induced reductions in winter snow accumulation. This reflects… read more here.
