Arctic sea ice has melted more slowly for the past 20 years, despite global warming, a study led by @markengland.bsky.social finds. Climate modelling suggests this is due to ‘natural climate variations’ and will be followed by faster-than-average sea ice decline. news.exeter.ac.uk/faculty-of-e...

Our recent paper @natgeosci.nature.com shows that over the Med, marine heatwaves are linked to subtropical ridges rather than atmospheric blocking, the typical cause of atmospheric heatwaves in central Europe. The brilliant ECRs Giulia Bonino and Ronan McAdam led this work! 🌊Link in the comments.

Don't miss the session at the 2026 Ocean Sciences Meeting convened by members of the Tropical Basin Interactions Research Focus group, which will discuss the importance of teleconnections between tropical basins and the global climate. Submit your abstract by 20 August. Check more: shorturl.at/3YMne

Our paper showing the differences between European and African weather forecast accuracy has appeared online. The results will not surprise meteorologists, but the international development community needs to hear this. Weather forecasting in Africa needs to be done differently.

During 2002-22, the Antarctic lower stratosphere cooled, a sign of decreasing ozone. A new study showed that this cooling was driven by a slowdown of the atmospheric motion that transports ozone poleward. Removing this effect showed a continued healing of the ozone layer. 🌊🧪👍 doi.org/10.1029/2025...

Big El Niños 🌊 usually come with big 🌎 teleconnections. The one in 2023/24 didn't. Why? Rainfall anomalies in the tropical Pacific were suppressed due to greater warming in Indian and Atlantic Oceans. www.nature.com/articles/s43... Led by Lei Zhang, with @matcollins.bsky.social @cires.colorado.edu

Job alert: we are looking for a postdoc to join the Atmospheric Dynamics group in Oxford to study Arctic atmospheric dynamics. The focus is on energy transfers between scales and implications for predictability. More details here: tinyurl.com/yc6h4b35

The 2023-24 El Nino, despite being ranked the 4th strongest since 1979, exhibited an unusually weak teleconnection pattern. A new study showed that warm tropical Indian & Atlantic suppressed tropical Pacific rainfall response to El Nino, and thus was mainly responsible: 🌊🧪 doi.org/10.1038/s432...

New paper! Zhang et al., The 2023/24 El Niño event exhibited unusually weak extratropical teleconnections. We show that this was due to warm SSTs in both the tropical Indian and Atlantic basins. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... In this new paper we describe the trade off between forecast precision and accuracy. The smaller the location you are considering, the lower your forecast accuracy and to get acceptable accuracy we need to increase the spatial scale, the longer we try to predict

It was great to give an overview of my research so far at the RMetS Early Career conference earlier today! And great to hear about the variety of other research from early career scientists in the field.

Unprecedented heat in the North Atlantic Ocean kickstarted Europe’s hellish 2023 summer. Now we know what caused it theconversation.com/unprecedente...

Out today in Nature, our paper on the drivers of the record 2023 summer heating of the North Atlantic. Temperatures warmed to record levels in just a few months. The impacts on climate & ecosystems were severe. A thread on how this work came about and what we found.👇👇🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Compound event frequency strongly increased over the past two decades in the South Atlantic. New study led by @rrrocean.bsky.social 👇

🌊 The N.Atlantic has been experiencing extreme T°C in 2023. This situation raises a number of questions: Have we missed something? Do climate models allow us to understand such an event, or have we entered a new climate regime? We attempted to answer these questions in this study: rdcu.be/eh0e8 1/14
