Last PhD paper finally published! wcd.copernicus.org/articles/2/653… Summary: Future projections of MJO teleconnections are VERY uncertain, much of which can be linked to uncertainty in future projections of winds.

Happy to share this work and raise awareness of S2S ocean prediction. Lots of great data to analyze! Thanks to Chris Roberts, Ángel G. Muñoz, Claire Spillman, and Frederic Vitart for their contributions. s2sprediction #oceanography bit.ly/3Cb0Ksf

We’re thrilled that ECMWF are set to build their new HQ here at Reading - which will make our campus home to the largest cluster of weather and climate scientists in the world. Read the full story: reading.ac.uk/news-and-event… #PlanetPartners

Today is MJO day at #AGU21! Talks (A51G, A52G) this morning and posters (A55U) this afternoon. I'll be on chat for my poster (A55U-1713) 9:15-9:45am, 11am-2pm, and 5-6pm CST on chat and certain times within that on video link. Come by and say hi! …21fallmeeting-agu.ipostersessions.com/Default.aspx?s…

Our new paper (Me, Jochen Broecker, Alexey Karpechko, @SimonLeeWx, Michael Sigmond, Isla Simpson) out in December in AGU (American Geophysical Union) Journal of Geophysical Research looks to understand the fundamental building blocks of predictive skill coming from the stratosphere.
