Improved Skills for Predicting Sub‐Seasonal to Seasonal Global Sea Surface Temperature

ABSTRACT Accurate prediction of global sea surface temperature at sub‐seasonal to seasonal (S2S) timescales is critical for drought and flood forecasting, as well as for improving disaster preparedness in human society. Operational physics‐based numerical models are run to predic...

Baseflow dominates river flow during droughts across the global streamflow network

Hydrological droughts occur when rainfall shortages reduce water storage in catchments, leading to delayed and prolonged low-flow conditions. How strongly baseflow supports river flow during droughts and whether this buffering remains stable under climate warming remain uncertain...
