Tales of future weather

Society is vulnerable to extreme weather events and, by extension, to human impacts on future events. Today a new study by researchers from the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) was published in Nature Climate Change. Combining weather models and climate models potentially provides complementary, more realistic and more physically consistent pictures of what future weather might look like. Wilco Hazeleger, Director of NLeSC, is first author of the published study.

4th CLIVAR Workshop on the Evaluation of ENSO in Climate Models: ENSO in a changing climate

The El Niño – Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the dominant mode of interannual climate variability on Earth, with worldwide impacts. Because ENSO involves a complex interplay of ocean and atmospheric processes, accurately modelling this climate phenomenon with coupled General Circulation Models (GCMs), and understanding and anticipating its behaviour in a warming climate, still pose major challenges.
