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...

Superheavy dark matter and stepped dark radiation for Hubble Tension
The persistent Hubble tension motivates early-universe physics that reduces the sound horizon while remaining consistent with CMB and large-scale structure data. We present a framework in which the relic abundance of superheavy nonthermal dark matter (DM) $X$ is set by gravity ra...
